Hello all For anyone reading this, in answer to my own message the other day ( http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/freetds/2010q3/026188.html), it is quite simple. A quick read of the C++ dlopen mini HOWTO ( http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/C++-dlopen.html) showed the answer. In the section 3.3 of this howto in example 2, it clearly shows use of dlopen once to open the library. In our case, we'd open the relevant FreeTDS library .so file. Then, it goes on to use dlsym more than once for the symbols it is interested in. Therefore, we need to extract and convert EACH symbol we're interested in. Examination of the samples with FreeTDS will highlight the functions we need to use. Once thing I'm still not too clear on - which .so should I be loading? libct or libsydb? Anyone? Thanks Rich
