ODBC Socket Server / VC++ Help!

I stumbled across an ODBC Socket Server this morning. I have started making a scheme for it, but I have ran into some problems. It comes as NT service and we inhilated our last NT OS here about 6 months ago. It also includes source and instructions for creating a Win98 build, but it needs to be compiled using Visual C++. Can someone do this for me? http://odbc.sourceforge.net/download.html --Ryan

Hi Ryan, the ODBC Socket Server looks great. I tried to compile it and it prints syntax error: Processing C:\Program Files NT\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\msxml.idl msxml.idl C:\Program Files NT\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\urlmon.idl(1830) : error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type specification near "IEnumString" C:\Program Files NT\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\urlmon.idl(1830) : error MIDL2026 : cannot recover from earlier syntax errors; aborting compilation Error executing midl.exe. I don't understand Microsoft IDL (Interface Definition Language), so I don't know what's wrong. I suspect I have old header files, I'll try to download newest Microsoft SDK. -- Michal Kracik Ryan Cole wrote:

In the PDF, it says to use the build configuration "Win32 Release". Its all greek to me. Thanks for the help, --Ryan Michal Kracik wrote:

Hi Ryan, after installing newest Microsoft Platform SDK and Internet Explorer 5.5 header and libraries (!), I was able to compile ODBCSocketServer for Windows 98. I hope REBOL will never have such dependency problems as Microsoft XML parser. It seems to run in Windows 98, but it does not appear in process list after ctrl+alt+del. Use attached program pview95.exe to verify that ODBCSocketServer is really running. I did not try database connections with it. I send it to you directly, since Listar will strip the binary attachment. Hope this helps, -- Michal Kracik Ryan Cole wrote:
