I'm not using I-net but the Openlink ODBC-driver. I'm sure the server
side is setup correctly, because with DBACCESS all works fine. Only
when I'm trying the use the NLS database from MS-Access or MS-Query
via the ODBC driver I get the error message.
BTW retrieving data from a non NLS database works just fine.
