Hi, this might be actually offtopic, but its always time to fight some FUD :-)

Funny enough if I use __Microsoft__ SQL Query Analyzer which directly connects to SQL Server and somehow shut the SQL Server down while a query is running I get the following message (german): _________________________________________________________ Server: Nachr.-Nr. 17, Schweregrad 16, Status 1, Zeile 0 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server existiert nicht oder Zugriff verweigert. Server: Nachr.-Nr. 2, Schweregrad 16, Status 1, Zeile 0 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). _________________________________________________________ Which means Microsoft uses ODBC itself for its internal DB Access in SQL Query Analyzer, and NOT OLE DB. Now if they use this for their native DB Access (and NOT OLE DB) , it must be perfect for me. Nice try anyway. -- NEU FÜR ALLE - GMX MediaCenter - für Fotos, Musik, Dateien...
