You should be able to connect successfully to 10.1 or 9.2 server versions using a 10.1 client. It is not essential in general that client and server version numbers be identical (the EXPort and IMPport utilities being one exception).

As a practical question, have you tried it? Did it work, or did you get an error? Please post specifics if available.

If connecting to an 8.1.7 database is an absolute requirement, I recommend sticking with a 9.2 client.
