Hi to all again :); > I'm looking for somebody who has tried powerbuilder 6-based apps in > the newest versions of Wine (currently I'm using v0.9.57 in Debian > Etch).

I was debugging my problematic application with some local PowerBuilder-guru, and we found that the problem only affects some text/list/combo boxes, the ones that are meant to input "only" numbers (controls with some kind of "numeric only" attribute...) So we make a program just to test that, without database connection; and we got the error again. So, we think that the problem is in the app, not in Wine... If anybody want to try our test app, it can be downloaded from www.coopcacec.com.py/dbcooop/. There are some instructions for using that program and a new snapshot of the program, too. Thanks Hugo S.
