I tried briefly right after we upgraded to WP 6.1 but kept getting an error message about a 'Missing DLL file'. It used to work fine under WP 6.0a with the ODBC driver but now it does not. It could have been a sloppy install of WP on our part that is to blame though.

We've has good success running 123v4 against an Oracle 7 database on our Netware server. We are using the Intersolv/Q+E ODBC driver for Oracle 7. We also use the IPX/SPX flavor of SQL*Net version 1.1.8.1. Our client PCs has 8 megs of RAM minimum.
One thing that is still a mystery is how Lotus displays
the Oracle DATE fields. When we do a simple query, all date fields come in displayed as ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Changingthe display format gets us numbers but none of the date formats work.
Any Suggestions ?
