Bob, UniObjects.NET is free in the "Client" package which is available for both Unidata and Universe. See a blog posting I wrote which may help you to decide which package to install. removepleaseNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/2008/09/u2upgrade1.html Note that the Universe package has an older version of UO than the Unidata package. You can download the UDT_7.2cl.zip file from the IBM web site or get it from your VAR. It's 540MB, but you don't need the whole thing. Someone might question whether the UD package will hurt your UV installation, but I have UD and UV running on the same system here, and the UD Client and related UniAdmin, all with no problem. When you get the package, install the UniDK. It has docs and samples for UO.NET in both C# and VB.NET. Information about installing UO.NET is mixed with this posting I wrote about using mv.NET with UO.NET: removepleaseNebula-RnD.com/blog/tech/mv/mvnet/2008/10/mvnet-u2-01 .html In a higher volume site you do have an important consideration: If you have a single-threaded process and it's occupied when new transactions are trying to get through, the connection will bottleneck, and may timeout as described with the ODBC handler. So if you're doing this with UO.NET, you can get away with 1 connection for testing, but be mindful about what might happen if the transaction count goes up quickly. You can write your own connection manager and when you find a backlog on one connection you can spin up another and just keep track of the connections in a thread pool. Here's the ad: mv.NET does all of that for you. I encourage you to try both UO.NET and mv.NET (which uses UO.NET as a simple pipe) and evaluate them for yourself. If you want to use U2 connection pooling with UO.NET to get around the backlog issue, there is a code sample in the UniDK - and you should talk to your VAR about purchasing the connection pooling license.
