We have several instances of 5.x and 7.x on different versions of HP-UX, and have been using the SOLID Monitor(server) services as well as their SOLID ODBC drivers, to connect to the server from WIN3.x, NT and 95. We, and our customers, use everything with the MS Jet engines, as well as Paradox and other unsupported apps, with good results. The only issue we've really seen, is with the 'date time' format from MS's applications, though there's a variable you can define in the sldmonitor cfg file, to overcome this. The 32bit version of the driver is still in beta, but is expected to be released soon. Here's their site: http://solid.corp.hp.com/ -- Ted Martinez CIM-Engineering Hewlett Packard (VCD)
