Problem:

Runtime receives an error that NTWDBLIB.DLL is not found when attempting to access an Microsoft SQL Server database using Acu4GL for MSSQL.

Resolution:

NTWDBLIB.DLL is part of the Microsoft SQL Server client software that is required by Acu4GL for MSSQL version 7.x and earlier.

There are 2 possible reasons why this error is being generated:

1) AcuSQL for MSSQL has been installed, rather than Acu4GL for MSSQL;

2) Acu4GL for MSSQL Server is installed, but the Client Communication software from Microsoft SQL Server has not.

The resolution(s) to this error are to either:

1) install the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 client software on the machine

2) copy the ntwdblib.dll from a machine with an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2000 client installation, placing the copied DLL into the bin directory with the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime and Acu4GL for MSSQL.

Note that for the second resolution to work Microsoft Data Access Component's (MDAC) need to be installed.
