The older version for which HP licensed you, would not know about the new
versions of Microsoft Operating systems ... At MBFoster we support
ODBCLink/SE as a lab to HP - we also provide UDALink a commercially
available product that will allow the ODBC or JDBC access from a variety
of Windows OS's as well see: http://www.mbfoster.com/products/udalink.cfm
for more info - The UDALink solution is built for Unix, Linux in 32 and 64
bit versions - drop me a note or call at 1-800-ANSWERS (ext 204) if you
wish to discuss - one way or another we should be able to help you.
