We have used PowerBuilder successfully from v3 to v5(haven't got v6 going yet but will soon) against Image/SQL databases for years now. ODBCLink/SE is the ODBC interface to ALLBASE/SQL on an HP3000. Image/SQL then interfaces to ALLBASE on the server. Your client(Powerbuilder) thinks it's dealing with an ALLBASE table, but really it's an ImageSQL database. So far we run only 16-bit PowerBuilder apps using the old HP supplied ALLBASE ODBC drivers. I've tried these PowerBuilder apps with the ODBCLink/SE-16 drivers and it does work(with some timing problems) . From what I hear, the ODBCLink/SE-32 drivers don't have these problems and should work fine with PowerBuilder 6, 32 bit.
