I know you and I have exchanged mails on this before, but _other_ application servers don't require specifying the database name, just the server name is required. If you don't specify the database name, you're connected to the default database for the user you're logging in as. Or, at least, you should -- this is the behavior of the Sybase libraries. I'd be curious to know if the database name really IS required by ns_pd. I know it's not for nsfreetds. ;-) (Matter of fact, your complaint was that specifying the database name isn't even _supported_ by nsfreetds, which I _do_ need to fix ...) -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
