I also have SQLAPIW.DLL on my PC. It came with the ALLBASE portion of Forest&Trees. It is needed to access ALLBASE, and by extension IMAGE/SQL, from a PC using Forest&Trees, the software. Since HP has to provide this portion, I would suggest that this file could be found at HP's IMAGE labs. If it proves difficult to get this from HP, feel free to contact me at (713) 626-3842 or [log in to unmask] Kind regards, Denys. . .
