The FreeTDS ODBC driver can be built with VC++. One big advantage that
would have (for you) would be that the TDSDUMP log file could show you the
packets being exchanged. If you set the protocol to 4.2, it will also
capture the login packet. Be advised that 4.2/5.0 login packet is very
different from the 7.0 one.

You also might want windump. http://windump.polito.it/

Do you have access to real server? You can log sessions with it while
using tsql to see what packets are going back and forth. E.g.

03:42:38.380762 tds_put_string converting 15 bytes of "set nocount on
"
03:42:38.380795 tds_put_string wrote 30 bytes

03:42:38.921844 error = 0
03:42:38.921860 done_count_valid = 0

So, yeah, 253 looks copasetic. ;-)

Nothing obvious, no. I can tell you there's nothing magical about
integers, except of course for endianism.

Looks like you're making progess, Steve. HTH.
