Thanks much for > your thoughts. Regards, Joe > All: What was it I was saying just the other day about statically linking??? Joe: SQLite is always backwards compatible. But new features tend to appear in new releases. I suspect what is happening here is that HP Connection Manager is using newer features of SQLite that did not exist in the older version of SQLite that TurboTax is loading. I fuss and fuss that applications should statically link their preferred version of SQLite so that this kind of thing won't happen, but nobody pays me much mind. Please complain to both HP and Intuit about this as they might listen to you more than they listen to me. Meanwhile, I suggest you locate the SQLite3.dll file (or files) on your machine and replace them all with the latest version of SQLite3.dll that you can download from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and that will probably fix your troubles, unless TurboTax has taken extraordinary measure to prevent you from doing so. Please let us know how this goes. > ______________________________**_________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-**bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-**users<http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users> > -- D.
