Can't see Arev tables from OI 1.0.1 (OpenInsight 32-bit Specific)

I have downloaded and installed OI 7.0.1 30 day eval on my WXP workstation and went through the quick start guide. I am trying to see the Arev 3.12 tables on our W2K server (NT Service 1.5/NPP) from OI but when I go to database manager and point it to the server directory with the Arev tables I'm getting the message "Chosen directory contains no Open Insight tables", and there doesn't seem to be any way to tell it to look for Arev tables (which I thought were the same format anyway).
Is it because I'm using an eval version? Do I have to point it to the NT Service or install OI on the Server? I am looking through the documentation but it says the Arev tables should show up so I'm at a loss.
Any hints or pointing me to the right document is welcome,
David Craig.

David,
I presume you created an account in OI of same name as that of Arev - or are the tables SYSPROG / GLOBAL?

David,
Are you using the All Networks Driver ver 1.5 within OpenInsight? The default would most likely be the Universal Driver ver 3.0.0.2. If so, run the NETDRV.exe program to change this.

Richard: I set up an application with the same name and username as the one used in Arev and tried to attach the tables from there but it made no difference.
Netdrv.exe just spit an error message at me 'script contains an illegal character' so I did some reading and replaced LH.dll with LH3.dll (since there was no LH2.dll) which, assuming that LH3 is the correct driver, should have worked, it made no difference although it didn't break anything either. I put it all back.
I also looked back at the download page and the eval is 'standalone' which may have something to do with it, or it could be the driver version, and I read something saying that after OI 3.something or other you should not replace LH dlls with older versions - either way it looks like I'm stuck for now.
I'll just have to evaluate it without accessing our data and assume that if we do decide to use it we can figure it out (probably by upgrading the driver and installing OI on the server not standalone), but thanks for your time.

I gave up too soon, I didn't realize you run netdrv from a dos prompt (.exe should have tipped me off) and after I did that and selected the 1.5 driver I could see the Arev tables just fine - thanks again.
