   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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. Changing
  the display format gets us numbers but none of the date   formats work.  

  Any Suggestions ?
