BDE 5.01 not connecting to SQL2K after patching

Hello All,
I am experiencing unusual behaviour with a number of desktops (3 of 20) running the BDE and the SQL connectivity option from the sql cd. For reasons unknown the BDE suddenly stops connecting to the database and cant be fixed without a reimage. Appears t
o be a key or dll that is causing interoperability issues.
No idea what o/s patch is causing trouble at this stage but its a recent phenomena.
has anyone seen this type of behaviour with third part software using BDE/SQL connectivity ?

What error do you get?
Could the problem be something along these lines?
