this forum just ate my previous attempt at reply ...

anyway - thx for reply - i don't remember the specifics either which is a bit strange since i'm normally alerted to low level problems like this.  We're going to try and track down your name on forum and see if we can locate the thread.

The ADO 2.8 thing in particular perplexes me as this software's engine predates ADO 2.8.  There is nothing .net in this app.  code base is C++.  Are u sure you needed ADO 2.8 for ApexSQL Log? 

Current version is 1.85 - we've had quite a few updates since April.  My guess is that if these issues existed they are resolved - we have no open issues related to any of three items you mention.
