Good question--the framework that I'm using only outputs a generic error message, so I was assuming that it was the same error that I was seeing when I was running the application in debug mode from within Powerbuilder. However, when I put a messagebox in the code to display the specific error code, it turned out to be a completely different problem--the "DBMS ... not supported in your current application" error. I checked the path, and whoever installed Powerbuilder on the PC had not set it up correctly, so it couldn't find the database drivers. Correcting the path fixed the problem.

Thanks for the help...

Cheers,
Paul.
