Hi David,
There seem to be some problems in the odbc driver when parsing statements.
Depending on other odbc driver settings, if the parse fails, it can just hang
or do other interesting things (in my experience). The parser does seem to have
problems with statements of the form select * from (select * from).
Try creating a strongly typed view for the second select from and change the
satement to the from of select whatever from viewname ?
Regards,
Wayne
