Re: Client Cache

Here is the latest convoluted story

I ran it on "one" XP machine and I still got the error. I had disabled zone
alarm and everything


I went to another xp box, installed the admin console, performed all of the
necessary xp sp2 hacks to get that console to see the database. I disabled
zone alarm, and WALLAH, it worked. Now I need to figure out why the first
machine with XP did not work. Thanks for the help!! :)
