Joe,

As far as I remember I was able to redirect the errors from isql.exe to
a file (sth. like "2>errorfile_name" - thus writing the output of the
"error-channel" to a specific file). This was working with NT (but not
win98, maybe because the error-channel is used by the OS all the time
:-)).

So maybe you can give gbak a try to do the same.
