We just spend some time this morning to have a kind a like system setup.
We have an application in FPW2.6 that comunicates with SQL server without any problem.
The only to have it working on a Windows95 platform with a novell network is that we had to have the 16bit as well as the 32bit ODBC drivers for SQL server set up on the client machine.
After just a bit of configuring and writing the correct SQL pass through commands (SQL EXE commands) in FPW26 code we can perfectly interogate the SQL server.
We can have some SQL store procedures triggered on the SQL server and see all the tables on the SQL server without any problem.
