Hi, think we have to do some basic checks here:<br />
<br />
- what is BDE and does it have any dependencies (other software)?<br />
- is sqlora8.dll present in c:\bde or one of it's subfolders?<br />
- if yes -&gt; check whether c:\bde\&lt;path to sqlora8.dll&gt; is in you PATH<br />
- did you install in c:\program files\bde under Windows 7 and if so why did you change now?

- if yes -> check whether c:\bde\<path to sqlora8.dll> is in you PATH
- did you install in c:\program files\bde under Windows 7 and if so why did you change now?

I have successfully installed BDE on Windows 7 64 bit, by installing to C:\BDE instead of C:\program files (x86)\BDE. &nbsp;I am having trouble getting this to run properly on Windows 2008 64 Bit Citrix server. &nbsp;When I add my database and try to connect to it it get this error<br />
<br />
Cannot load an IDAPI service library File: &nbsp;SQLORA8.dll. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I know this is very old software, but I have successfully installed on Windows 7. &nbsp;Does anyone have any idea how to get this to run on Windows Server 2008 R2?<br />
<br />
Thanks
