Lani,

I have never worked with the DBI controls, but there an issue with activeX controls and version numbers. Have the problem installations been updated to the latest version? There is an excellant paper by Doug Hennig on the www.stonefield.com site under technical papers (ActiveX ...). Stonefield has implemented all activeX controls using a "loader" mechanism that instantiates controls a runtime. This avoids version conflicts. Maybe there is more than one version of the control on the workstation?

Kind Regards,

Mat
