I figured I'd post a "heads-up" for anyone installing Visual Studio 6 ( Enterprise Edition) on their machine.

If you choose to overwrite the existing ODBC drivers with the ones that come with Visual Studio, then more than likely your connections/Datasets will not work anymore.

As soon as you try to use a connection, OpenEngine will stop responding.

I tried this on three separate Win98 machines with the same result. If I restore the pre-Visual Studio6 ODBC drivers ( in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM) everything returns back to normal.

You have been warned… ;)
