Article ID: Q82887 The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 3.0
 * SQL Server version 4.2

SYMPTOMS
SQL Server version 4.2, includes two .DLL files, DBNMP3.DLL and W3DBLIB.DLL, that are also included with Q+E. The version of these DLLs included in the Microsoft Excel 3.0 package are earlier versions of the files.

If Microsoft Excel and Q+E are installed after SQL Server, then any application that depends on this version of these .DLLs may not operate correctly.

WORKAROUNDS
To work around this problem:

 Delete the versions of the .DLLs installed by Microsoft Excel -or- Remove Microsoft Excel from the Path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT -or- Move Microsoft Excel so that is appears after SQL Server on the Path statement
