Client error with Sales and Marketing 5.5

[Norwich]

Hi,

we've a SQL based installation here running 5.5. All clients are running fine except for an old 98 box which we've just tried to install. Once the logon has been entered, we get the errors:

#########################################################

General SQL error.
Native SQL error: 10040

Context: openDatabase
MSSQL: GoldMine_GMBase: dbo.SPFILES

1: Alias: GoldMine_GMBase
2: Server message: Db-library network communciations layer not loaded.

BDE Error Cat:Code: [51:3]
BDE: 500 [4/11/1999] GoldMine: 5.50.10111

User: MASTER
Window: &Cancel

Template: 7169
Details:
ALIAS: GoldMine_GMBase
NATIVEMSG: Db-library network communciations layer not loaded.

#######################################################



However, all looks OK when connecting with the BDE admin and also testing via the ODBC link.

Any ideas folks?

I am having the same problem, has anyone figured this out?

GOT IT!
It was the MDAC version. It worked for me, hope it helps you. I installed version 2.6sp1
good luck

Thanks for posting the info. IN the end, I didn't need to access Goldmine from that box any longer so left it as it was.

Norwich,

Are you running multiple databases? If not you shouldn't have a GMBASE in SQL, just one database.

Yes, we have a handful of databases...
