Can anyone help me out with the following issues:
-Is there such a thing as SQLServer client tools for a Mac?
-How does a Mac client program connect to the SQL Server 6.5 database?
Does it use TCP/IP and ODBC? Appletalk?
Thanks.

You need the Visigenic ODBC drivers. 415-286-1900
http://www.visigenic.com They work over TCP/IP or EtherTalk.

If you have Microsoft Office for the Mac, it comes with a 68K ODBC
driver and Microsoft Query. Query can connect to MS SQL Server databases
via TCP/IP or AppleTalk using this driver.
Other options will include Crystal Reports 5.0, and Oracle Power Objects
2.0 - both in beta right now.
You can also use PowerBuilder for the Mac and the ODBC driver though I
don't recommend it if stability is of importance.
