In some cases, there is a direct translation, or even no translation required. In some other cases, I have changed the code quite a bit. I'm also referring to the FreeTDS code and documentation in the process, as a sort of double check. Since FreeTDS seems to be more active, there is newer information there, so it is more complete; jTDS has the advantage of being in Java, which is much closer to C#, and thus easier to port. At this point, I'm able to login to MS SQL Server 7.0 and 2000, and run a few queries, etc. If you are interested in Mono and the TDS client implementation, please feel free to take a look at some of the source code, or give it a try for yourself. Any tips that you can offer will be greatly appreciated. The protocol seems pretty well documented on the FreeTDS site. I may call upon you if I run into any significant roadblocks. At this point, I'm pretty happy with the progression, since I've only been working on it for less than a week, and I was sick for three days. :-) -- Tim Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [43.28 N 80.31 W] BMath, Honours Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo Software Developer, Global Services, Open Text Corporation "Under capitalism, man exploits man.
