BDE to personal MS SQL Server 2000
hi experts, l'm using Personal MS-SQL Server 2000. using Borland BDE MSSQL driver (SQLMSS32.DLL) version 5.0.1.23(0), when tried to connect using this driver, it was connected but very slow when connecting and the property "Type" in BDE stated "MSSQL: Unknown Version: Mapping error: Bad template: SQL Server [^0-9]*([0-9]+)\."
why ? please help. thanks.
why ? please help. thanks.
Further:
I just tried exactly the same thing as you did and got the same error message "MSSQL: Unknown Version: Mapping error: Bad template: SQL Server [^0-9]*([0-9]+)\.". I'm wondering if it maybe a version issue with SQL Server 2000. Perhaps this driver only likes SQL Server 7+????

I've had a look on the net and in Borland's support site and I can't find anything at all about this error message with regards to SQL Server. There is references to Sybase, but I doubt changing anything in that line will make a difference. I'll keep looking and post back if I find anything.

ok..i will be waiting
Did you try using it the way I suggested above? I don't get any errors like that at all.
There is nothing that I can see on Borland's website.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If you're using the BDE, create a new BDE Alias of type "SQL Server". Set the ODBC DSN property to your ODBC driver, set your default USER NAME and you should be set.
Hope this helps,
