Hi, Everybody:

    Is there anyone having the problem making MSVC++ 5.0 work with
Watcom SQL 4.0? We have an old application which worked when we use
MSVC++ 4 as complier. After upgrading to MSVC++ 5.0, we found the
executable won't run with Watcom SQL 4.0 anymore. When we run the
.exe using MSVC++ 5.0 as compiler, the database calls generated by
the Watcom SQL preprocessor stopped working. For example,
each time when we run dbpp_connect_40, we got an application error
message " The Instruction at 0x002437cf referenced memory at 0x06500044
. The memory could not be read" , if invoking debug, it gave more
messages like "unhandle exception in .exe (DBL40T.DLL)0xc0000005. Access
 Violation".
     We tried the everything we know to fix the problem. But the problem
is still with us. So what goes wrong? Can't MSVC++ 5.0 work with Watcom
SQL? Any help from any one? Thanks a lot.

Is your application in VC 4.0 a real Win32 one or a Win32s application ? If
that's the case that's quite normal.
Otherwise, maybe your DLL (Watcom) isn't a real 32 bits one... Another
time, quite normal.

Why not go to SQL Anywhere (the logical upgrade to Watcom SQL)?  I found it
to be terrific!  It is much more recent and more likely to be supported
under VC++5.0.
