BUG# ODBCSDK2: 10118 (1.02.3231)



SYMPTOMS
When a Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 workstation is configured to use the Banyan Vines Network Library and attempts to connect to a SQL Server machine on a Banyan Vines, but SQL Server is not present or not running, SQLSRVR.DLL will cause a general protection fault (GP fault).

The following configuration exhibits the above behavior:
 * Windows or Windows for Workgroups workstation with Banyan Vines redirector installed
 * SQL Server Win16 client Network Library (Net-Library) installed (DBMSVIN3.DLL). This is the Vines IP client-side Network Library.
 * A Banyan Vines server with a PC-based service created.

If ODBC is configured to use DBMSVIN3.DLL and an attempt is made to connect to a PC-based service name that is currently not being used by SQL Server (for example, no SQL server has registered with the PC-based service), then when the ODBC client attempts to connect, a GP fault will occur in SQLSRVR.DLL with the following message:

Application Error

caused a General Protection Fault in module SQLSRVR.DLL at 000C:098C.



WORKAROUND
Make sure SQL Server is started before you attempt to connect with the ODBC SQL Server driver and the Banyan Vines Network Library.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the ODBC SQL Server driver version 1.02.3231. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
