I have a quick question that I thought someone out there would have the answer to. My understanding is that Microsoft no longer maintains/supports the DBLib interface to MS SQL Server - instead they promote ODBC and more recently the OLE-DB provider, which I believe do not use DBLib. If this is the case, I need to know whether the BDE SQL Links Native MSSQL option uses DBLib, or whether it uses OLE-DB (or even ODBC). If it still uses DBLib, then we would want to ensure we are not using SQL Links when setting up Alias's to MS SQL Server. Thanks in advance for any answers, James Fraser. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
