>>I can't help with your problem, but having recently switched to Client 32, the only thing I can say is that it really "barks" and that it should be AKC certified. I hate it, but if that's what the client wants...well. he'll have to live with it. Bottom line, VFP's the victim and Netware's the culprit.

AKC - American Kennel Clubs - the people who sety standards for breeds and register their pedigree. And I completely agree with George; the Novell Client32 stack is a bleeding nightmare, especially if you're silly enough to have some servers using IPX and others using TCP/IP as their preferred protocols. All I can say in favor of Client32 is that it does have a prettier front-end than Microsoft's.

It has caused all kinds of troubles for us both at the office and at client sites, and Novell's support is worse than Microsoft's if that's possible. And Microsoft, bless their souls, won't lift a finger for you with it on the workstation.
