SYMPTOMS

With Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.6 and later installed on the platforms listed above, the SQLBrowseConnect ODBC call enumerates Microsoft SQL Server 2000 instances but cannot enumerate Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 servers.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

To reproduce this behavior, call SQLBrowseConnect with a Connection String In parameter of "Driver={SQL Server}". After the call completes, the Connection String Out parameter does not contain any SQL Server 7.0 names in the server list.
