All,
We have an application in Sybase which, uses native calls to connect to SQL Server 7.0 (SP2). But, it fails while connecting to SQL 2000 with the error...
'ct_connect(): protocol specific layer: external error: The attempt to connect to the server failed'
Have anyone got across this problem. I am in dire need of solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Mitra

The connector you are using for Sybase is not of a compatibility for SQL 2000 I would think. Is this Sybase running under windows? If so then you should be able to download the latest MDAC with the updated SQL connector. If not you will have to find a vendor for you platform who has built a connector for SQL 2000. Just make sure also that you have the proper client license for SQL 2000.
