Hi,
I have a old VC++ application using DB-Library for connection with sqlserver
6.5. Recently I have migrated the sqlserver from 6.5 to 2000. during
recompilation of the vc++ code, i have a problem with ntwdblib.lib file. I
think it does not match with the SQL 2000 version one.
The SQL 2000 installation CD ships with :-
- ntwdblib.lib | dated:Sunday, August 06, 2000, 8:30:29 AM | 31 kb
- ntwlib.dll | ver:2000.80.194.0 | dated: Sunday, August 06, 2000, 9:51:53
AM | 269kb

Post SQL 2000SP4 installation :-
- ntwlib.dll | ver:2000.80.2039.0 | dated: Wednesday, May 04, 2005, 12:02:26
AM | 284 kb

Currently, I have SQL 2000 SP4 installed.

Please advice me, where can i get the NTWDBLIB.LIB file correponding the
NTWDBLIB.DLL which ships with SP4

Regards,
--Chandu

What problem do you see? Since Microsofr hardly touches DB-Library at
all these days, I see no reason to assume that the RTM LIB file should
not be OK with the SP4 DLL. I checked on my machine, and I don't have
any newer version of NTWDBLIB.LIB that the one you mention.

Thanks Erland for the reply,
You are right the NTWDBLIB has not changed, the problem is with the linker
of VC++5.0, it needed an upgrade. It works fine now.

thanks,
