I have to second Sandy's observation. We are using IMAIL 6.04 in conjunction with MS SQL Server 7 at an ISP with thousands of user accounts. It works beautifully. If you need any specific advice, please contact off-list

Just to make sure I haven't gone crazy, I just went into an old Imail 6 box and set up an ODBC virtual host against SQL Server 7 in about 45 seconds. I am sorry you had trouble with your setup, and I'm not saying your problems weren't Imail's fault, but your experience was not the rule (the rule being, I suppose, "It can be annoying to set up, but you usually get it."). So, back to Ryan. Ryan, the first thing I would tell you is to test your ODBC connection in full using an app like Excel and passing a UID and PWD, rather than trusting the ODBC Admin on anything. Others will give you better advice that is specific to Oracle. Sandy ______________________________________________________________________ The HKSI-IMail Admin List is hosted by........
