Craig,
The program is written using Visual C++ 6.0 and MFC. I don't really want
to distribute source code. I have spent a lot of time making this as
reliable as possible and feel it is pretty stable now.
As is, it will create Access compatible files on the local disk, you could
try that option right off. We found Access was causing resource leaks and
would force us to reboot the machine occasionally. This along with file
locking issues convinced us to dump the Access approach.
I communicate to SQL Server now using DBLIB as it didn't require any ODBC
configuration. Way back I had trouble keeping other applications from
stepping on the ODBC drivers and breaking the database connection.
I think the ODBC code is still lurking in the source if that could be of
use to someone.
Try it out and if you need something added let me know.
