Hello, everybody! First of all I have to say that I'm already posted this question in another forum: http://www.delphipages.com/threads/thread.cfm?ID=206179&G=206179 but as I haven't got any response from there I thought that this would be the right place to ask what I asked there. I really hope to get your help about this because I am totally new to Linux and I don't know where to go anymore. If you read my question in the forum listed above you know that I'm trying to run a Delphi database application developed in Windows using Wine. That's what I'm using in the Windows side: - Windows XP (Service Pack 3) - Delphi 2005 - dbExpress (I'm not using BDE, which makes things simpler) - MS SQL Server 2000 On Linux: - Ubunto 8.10 - Wine 1.0.1 First my application wasn't connecting to the database, but I could make it connect installing mdac28 with the winetricks script. All queries sent to the database in the application are running ok, but when I try to write something I get the following error: Database Server Error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (Error SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS()).] General network error. Check your network documentation. I changed the Windows version in Wine to Windows 98 and tried to install jet40 using winetricks, but I'm getting an error. That's how I proceed and the error messages that I get: marcos@marcos:~$ sudo su root@marcos:/home/marcos# sh winetricks jet40 Executing wine /root/.winetrickscache/jet40sp8_9xnt.exe fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias 180, std (d/m/y): 0/00/0000, dlt (d/m/y): 0/00/0000 fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can't find matching timezone information in the registry for bias 180, std (d/m/y): 0/00/0000, dlt (d/m/y): 0/00/0000 fixme:setupapi:extract_cabinet_file awful hack: extracting cabinet "C:\\windows\\temp\\IXP001.TMP\\Jetsetup.CAB" err:ole:TLB_ReadTypeLib Loading of typelib L"C:\\Program files\\Common files\\Microsoft shared\\dao\\dao2535.tlb" failed with error 2 Install of jet40 done winetricks done. I want to to install jet40 just to try if the error that I'm getting in the application will disappear, but I'm just guessing this. I also want to tell you that I run my application using winefile. I would be very thankful if someone could help me with this issue. Thank you. Marcos
