I use R & R ver 9.0.007 SQL and extract data from a dos database (dbf IV). I am upgrading my database to SQL version which uses Borland Interbase software (I use Windows 2003 server OS)____Once the Borland software was installed, the R & R program quit operating and gave an error message:____DB access: (Microsoft)(ODBC dBase driver)Unexpected error__from external databasedriver (8961)____any suggestions?____Thank You, Paul______
