In answer to your question almost implemented a 200 user client/sever system talking to Informix and FoxPro. There are as many parts wrong with NewEra (Not just the ODBC side) here is one or two I simple update statment can jump in size from 4 lines to 140 lines. Every time you use (and correctly destory) an ODBC statment object you lose 1k of memory. You can't get the value of the last updated row number (or almost any of the SQLCA record). The list go on and on and on and on and on and on. I hope this answer some of you questions. Logic
