Hi, Phil.

Two things:
1) I use 2.0
2) I use C++ (BDS actually) on Win...

I found using a unique connection per thread is s better way to go. I
have not encountered an error that Adam mentions (having the same
application/different threads when connecting). My application runs
as a Win Service and loads data in real time.

One reason I may avoid the error Adam refers to is that I do not
establish a connection unless/until the first data shows up at the
door step. Then, generally, I do not close the connection, but use
multiple transactions (per thread).

HTH.
Kurt.
