Hi Norbert,
Firstly thanks for you quick response. I'll try compiling the ODBC backend. I have to admit I couldn't work out why I would need to compile freeTDS on Windows when there are native libraries that MS provides. Having said that I built freeTDS and tested the utilities (tsql) successfully on my dev DB. I've included my config.log (zipped in config.log.gz). I was looking for native libraries because I was under the impression that ODBC was far more inefficient.......
