I would look straight at the client lib on this suspect machine.
1. Look at the properties of the gds32.dll and ensure that it is the same
version as the developer machine.
2. Make sure there is only one copy of this lib on the machine i.e. that you
do not have a copy in the application directory as well as the system32 dir.
the app dir copy will shortcircuit an attempt to get at the system32 dir
copy.
