Thank you everyone for all the messages which have helped me a great
deal.

Can someone confirm that NTWDBLIB.DLL is not used by a Powerbuilder 11
application in any capacity if the database interface is OLE DB? It
wouldn't be used if, say, there were embedded SQL in a PB script? I
don't think so but I would like to be absolutely sure. Thanks much.

MSS the old 'native' driver for MS SQL is no longer supported by anyone
(microsoft, sybase, ....).

It no longer works at all in PB 10 and later, due to that driver's lack of
unicode support.

OLEDB never used it. You tell OLEDB what to use when you put a provider in (ie
SQLNCLI, SQLOLEDB)

You can use OLEDB, or the new native driver for MS SQL(SNC).

Rick;

FWIW: "NTWDBLIB.DLL" was deprecated by MS and thus Sybase had no choice
but to remove MSS support in the later PB versions. This was a very stupid
move by MS but makes ASE look allot better! :-)
