UPDATE: Client definitely doesn't have budget for new PB license. Talked with the retired developer and he thought we should try ODBC. They had converted other of their applications to work with ODBC and didn't have problems. So switched to ODBC and was able to connect. The application is working fine. Just need to hear where they want to deploy it and then we'll have them test to confirm that all is well.
So thanks once again for supporting this forum.
