I am *NOT* running v7, except insofar as I'm trying to migrate from a v7 server
to v8. After the work I put into describing what client drivers I was using,
which server I was testing against and what happened I really think that you
could have read my posting without jumping to conclusions.
Where I tested drivers against v7 it was purely to test that the basic
installation was complete, and in most cases it was a known-good v7 driver
against a known-good v7 server. You'd be entitled to criticise me if I hadn't
checked whether my test system still had working ODBC and I'd led everybody on a
wild goose chase as a result. Where I was cross-testing it was out of prurient
curiosity :-)
I suspect that both driver series- i.e. "official" ODBC and ODBCng- are up
against problems with the version of the ODBC DLLs they are expecting.
