I have seen problems similar to yours when the error reported turned out to be not the real problem. In the case I can recall the problem was that the user getting the errors was not connected to the correct database engine. Things I would check are: Have you got an entry for sqlexec ( or whatever service name you use) in /etc./services on the host? Do the PC's /etc./hosts and /etc/services files match the entries in the host's /etc/hosts and /etc/services? Have you started the sqlexecd daemon? Has the user got connect permission on the database? Can you get Online on an HPUX 9.04 machine to talk to Online on HPUX10.01? - if so the problem probably lies on the PC. If you would like to email me with more info I may be able to help.
