Recently installed Client 3.3, Novell 5.1, SP 2a, and GW 5.5, SP2. Now users are unable to access Btrieve applications. (The server is running Pervasive Btrieve 7.51)

What files need to be loaded under the Windows/System directory in order for the Windows 95(B) workstations to enable Btrieve apps to work?

out of curiousity is this for a program called CLCS III?

The problem usually resides in the system.ini file
I haven't dealt with btrieve in a long time but do remember that most btrieve apps require for a btrieve section be added to the system.ini file. Copying files and reinstalling files doesn't generally work.
These are the files you may want to check however:
BREQUEST.EXE v6.16.1 for DOS applications
WBTRCALL.DLL (38K) v6.15.4 for 16-bit Windows applications
BTRCALLS.DLL v6.15.1 for 16-bit and 32-bit OS/2 applications
WBTRV32.DLL v6.15 for 32-bit Windows NT/Windows 95 applications
Workstation utilities, including Roll Forward and DOS Requester utility (BREQUTIL)
THese files and a patch to these files can be obtained from the pervasive ftp site. You can get there from:

Hope this helps

Server Btrieve is not the problem -- Btrieve is being run "locally" from the workstations. Thanks for the suggestion and input, however (:
