Hi again,

I downloaded the latest snapshot and installed with my current freetds.conf 
and pool.conf, i can now tsql -S mypool -U sa -P ruler ok and can query away 
so i was delighted with that!

i moved back into my client program and in dbopen i changed the following, 
dbconn = dbopen(login,"mypool"); but it doesnt connect. i now know that the 
whole connection pool server process works so it must be in my application 
that is causing the problem. i also checked my code and found that the only 
way i could connect via dbopen was by including the ip address instead of the 
server name, LeocateServer wouldnt connect for me either.  i am including 
tds.h in my headers so any thoughts?

doesnt work
dbconn = dbopen(login,"LeocateServer");  // LeocateServer the name of my 
server in freetds.conf
dbconn = dbopen(login,"mypool"); // mypool the name of pool server in 
freetds.conf and pool.conf

does work
dbconn = dbopen(login,"ip address in here"); // ip address is that of 
LeocateServer in freetds.conf

thanks again for your help.
