I direct your attention to this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnuda/h tml/dataint.asp In this page MS comments: "Implemented using the open protocol of the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA), the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 supports access to remote DB2 data using industry-standard Structured Query Language (SQL) statements." Therefore, not only does MS understand DRDA (which they themselves characterize as an open protocol), they use it to get to DB2 and they understand the relationship between DRDA requests and SQL requests. The lack of DRDA access to SQL Server is thus purely an MS limitation. Joe > From: Steve Richter > > I am curious to know why no one has written a low cost DRDA interface > for Windows.
