Q: What is the connection string?
A: Are you looking for the protocol or a property?

Q:When you say "attempts to insert a new record" what are you talking
about?
A: The user presses a button and in code I call MyIBOQuery.Insert;

Q: Does it occur when a dataset goes into Insert mode
A: Yes, just after the code "Before Insert" executes

Q: Do you have GeneratorLinks set
A: No

Q: service pack level is the Win2K machine on
A: The latest service pack has been applied

Q: are you sure that you have the correct gds32.dll installed in
the system directory

A: No, I'm not certain. Does the 1.5.1 install take care of this? Even
when upgrading from older versions?

I'll also research the answers to your other questions.

Thank you very much for looking at this.
