I did not notice the connection speed. I'll check it and the MDAC version. I
would have thought that XP Pro would have had a better version of MDAC, hmmm.
Ok.

If the connection and transfer works better with W2K, does that indicate
that Server side cursor is being used or not. Where can I check this setting?

Do you know if XP handles client-side cursor differently then W2K?

I'll have to try the profiler later since the server is at a remote site.
Thanks.

Hi Tony

The difference could be in what options are set, although I don't remember
any defaults being different unless on your Windows 2000 system you are
running a very old version. An application change would be the most likely to
change to location of the cursors. I assume you have not changed the database
between these two events?

Also have you checked ODBC tracing is not on?

Is the connection speed any different and are you using the correct drivers?
