>Well, what we apparently did was to create a database without a log [as you say, logging can't be disabled]. I share your concern about operating without a log.

How did you create a database that didn't have a log? Even if you issue:

CREATE DATABASE mike

You'll still get a log file.

>I'm not sure - the version number is 3.70.06.23. I had a look on Microsoft's site, but I couldn't see anywhere to get an updated ODBC driver. We don't fancy going to ADO at this stage.

That's the same version that I have. Usually to update a driver, I'll download the lastest MDAC componets from the MS website.

So did you get your problem corrected?
