I have an that is driving me barmy and was hoping someone might have a hint
or two to offer.

I have a COM, written in ATL7, that accesses a SQL Server 2000 database and
pulls some data via a simple view.  It then translates that data to a
SAFEARRAY [satype(char)] and sends it back to the calling client.

When run on windows 2000/server, this is returning gibberish (this is also
the development machine).  However, when compiled and run on any of several
win2k/P or win XP/P machines, the component runs fabulously.  Has anyone
seen this behavior before?

TIA!
