That is good to know about the @ and objects. I wasn't sure what would happen under NT if I made the change.

You see, we have been running this application on NT for several years with the @ operator in place. Only under Win2000 does is break. I'm trying to understand why it started breaking under 2000 and why moving the dbaccess.client object to another package in MTS under 2000 causes it to start working. Then I can determine if there are other potential problems and if I won't screw it up under NT by removing the @.

This piece of code that I'm working with is a small but fundamental module. I'm researching if removing the @ symbol will cause the sytem to break under NT and if there any other modules with potential problems.
