I've been asked to retrieve data from an old java app that was developedusing cloudscape (CS).
Which version of Derby did you try? It's possible that you may find greater success by using an *older* version of Derby; try using Derby 10.1.1.0 and see if it can connect to that old database. Also, attach the entire derby.log from your session in which you try to open the old database; it may have more information. thanks, bryan
