>>>I've got a VFP 3.0 app that runs on Novell with GPLib making the calls that I need. I've got an area that is migrating to NT and are getting the "GPLIB library invalid" error. Is there a GPLib equivalent for NT, or am I gonna hafta write a moduler to fake it?

>We use GPLIB with VFP on NT for network support to Novell. On FPW 2.6 we are using Netlib. The VFP version of Netlib did not support NT at the time we began conversion of FPW apps to VFP. The people a communication horizons kept saying a NT version for Netlib was soon to be released but after months of waiting we had to go with GPLib. I don't know if they have the NT version out yet or not, you could check their web site. GPLib has worked fine for us with NT on both novell 3.x and 4.0 versions. I don't know why you are having the problem. I would check to see that you are using the NT release of GPLib and that you are using a supported network driver.

I've never had a problem with either, since I write my own API access stuff anyway. The question arose for someone who has been using NetWare and is now migrating the network away from NetWare to NT (IOW, there will be 0 NetWare boxes involved), a move that I do not feel is a mistake in any case.
