Bob,
V8 uses 64-bit pointers, while 7.5 uses 32-bit. Incompatible. I don’t even think you could connect the two using Oterro 8, but that may be incorrect.

Is there something different with V8?

(Yes I am in the process of upgrading, that is why I need the connection!) This command R>SCONNECT ';driver=R:BASE 7.5 Database Driver (*.RB1);dbq=g:\rbti\RBG7\HOF' gives an error of Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 126 (Rbase 7.5 database driver) Any clues as to what error 126 is and is it possible to connect a 7.5 database to a V8 via ODBC? I would expect to be able to do this, but I must have something amiss. Thanks, -Bob
