Chad: I am trying to get our in house app which connects to an SQL2000-ent sever to run in linux, I have the app running just fine but I cant get connection to the database. Are you running it using wine? Anyway, in all seriousness, if the application is simple to moderate complexity, you might consider building a web interface in php. While this may cause a few headaches and late nights in the short run, if you are going to be running the app on multiple platforms, this might ultimately be the best solution in the long run.
