Erland and MJK,

Thank you both for your advice !

Erland:

I tried "osql /E" and it worked ! (i.e., I got correct correct results
for the two queries: select @@servername and select @@version)


(now I'm going to go blind reading all there is on Books Online to get
myself up to speed )

btw, I'm fairly expert in xBase databases (my job is tech support for a
structural steel company that uses my software, but is now moving to MSSQL)
and I have to show that I'm up to the task to help them make that move. In
fact, they have purchased AccPac for Windows, and have installed MSSQL 2000.
But I'm at a remote location from the headquarters of this company and must
get used to MSSQL all by myself in the 'sunny south'.

Thanks again.
