If an application has embedded SQL statements and they are referencing system tables directly that may be the case of application being compatible only with a particular SQL Server...

Depends how much it's worth to you, John. There is a product called SwisSQL (http://www.swissql.com/products/sql-translator/sql-converter.html) that will do what you want. It's shareware, but full license is just...

Not sure I'd go that far. I think all I'd check for is corroboration from one other party. I'd probably also ask her for the name of the person who...

Nice work environment, though, eh?

Hi, Horace

I just posted a response to your other thread (about IIS/SQL Server), and mentioned a book that might be useful for you.

Agree with above. The web site will simply use a connect string, specifying destination server, database, account and password. Most likely, it'll be held in the global.asa file, but not...
