Hi Dale,

I hope I can assist a little. However, there seems to be a chaos of
different versions out there, I think you'll need to implement a version
checking in your install program :(

My version for DBNMPNTW.DLL is 6.50.240, English (USA), I got it with a
small trick: Install the most recent service pack for your SQL (it's SP2
for German SQL), this will install the most recent drivers in
SQLROOT/BINN. Then simply copy all newer files to your
client/mssql/binn. No warranties, wether expressed or implied ......
there are other drivers and setting that influence settings as well.

Imagine: 6.50.240 => 240 subrevisions => aaargh!!!!

Unfortunately there are still problems with the international settings
support, mostly in Emeradm/discounts, but also in .87 itself (price
display for services, some dates). I promised Dale I'll send him
detailled reports, but I simply haven't found the time yet (working
actually ~14hours/day, 7 days a week :-( )

We'll celebrate my companies 10th anniversary next Friday, and I'm
beginning to feel a little bit 'overloaded'. Maybe I need some Dr.
Pepper ?????? See shipment address below :)))))

cu, Peter
