Running app on NT with database on Netware (OpenInsight Specific)

We want to load and run the application on an NT server, looking at a database running on a Netware server. The NLM is loaded, and we use OI3.4.1. What client driver do we use on the app loaded on NT? We do not foresee running the NT Service, as the app is runtime only.

Nick,
If your data is on a Netware server you cannot use the NT Service to control your data, you should use the NLM or at the least get the NPP (All Networks Driver)
Good Luck!

We presently run the NLM on our Netware database. The question is this: What client driver do we need to apply to the OI application running on the NT machine? As we run the NLM on the Netware database, we would presumably need the IPX 1.14vxd driver, but what implication does this have on the application LH tables running on NT?

Nick,
If the same copy of Open Insight is accessing data on the Netware server and also the NT Server, your best option is to go with the NPP (All Networks Driver)
Good Luck!

Nick,
I am not sure from your question whether the LH files reside on anything other than the Netware server. Basically, if your LH files are on a Netware server and you have the NLM on that Netware server, then you must use the LH/IPX driver to access those files.
I couldn't tell if:
1) You weren't sure how to configure OpenInsight to execute on NT, access the NLM
2) You have LH files stored and accessed (by multiple users) on the NT machine as well
As far as #1 above, you may have to copy NWCALLS.DLL to the NT machine's windows\system directory if you don't already have NWCALLS.DLL on the machine. (I believe that Netware Client32 for NT installs this file, but AFAIK Client32 refuses to install on NT Server edition.)
