I believe the trick is to install the required support files that came with PO7 for Windows 95. Check the media for PO7, next to the win95 directory there will probably be a windows directory with subdirectories instal ref70, rsf71 and rsf72. Run setup from the install directory and it should do the rest. You should then find that your Dev 2000 tools will communicate quite happily without the use of SQLNet. It would appear that the updated RSF files allow the 16 bit apps (dev 2000) to communicate with the 32 bit database. Received on Wed Oct 02 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
