Hi Chris,
Mmm. Maximizer 3.0 probably won't work completly correctly with Pervasive SQL 2000 due to some differences in the way buffer sizes are managed. However, I understand this is not really what you were trying to achieve.
All Maximizer 3 installations use btrieve and whats happening here is due to mixed messages getting to Maximizer as a result of the presence of btrieve 6.15 and 7.51 (Pervasive.SQL 2000)
Error 8020 means Maximizer found mixed component versions. I suggest you run the smartscout component in in the Prevasive.SQL 2000 control center this will allow you to see what's currently in use. The problem will probably relate to the version of WBTRV32.DLL present on your computers.
Pervasive.SQL 2000 normally loads a 42kbyte file dated 9/6/99
I'dont think it will be easy to get both 6.15 peer-to-peer and Pervasive 2000 client/server applications on the same PCs. However, It may be possible as most of the files do not share the same names. Some experimentation with the settings in the registry and with careful checking of file versions would be necessary. Unfortunalty I've not tried to get this specific combination working.
You may be interested to know that the latest Maximizer version (Enterprise 2000) uses the Pervasive.SQL 2000 database and so would be completely happy on your network. If you would be interested in details of the new features/upgrade costs please drop me an email at
