Re: Using SNC connection in PB 12.5

Hi Connie;

  You must have the SNC client installed locally. To do this, you could:

1)  Include & copy the SQL Server Native Client files (sqlncli11.dll, sqlnclir11.rll, and s11ch_sqlncli.chm) to the following location:  %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\

2) You could include and invoke sqlncli.msi from your PB application using PB's Run() method. Then delete the MSI. The next time your application starts, you can ignore the Run() if the .MSI file does not exist.

3) Use something like SMS to push the SS SNC installation out automatically to your workstations.

Note: you can also check for the presence of SNC from your PB applications by introspecting the following registry entry ... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Microsoft SQL Server\SQLNCLI11\CurrentVersion

HTH
