Creating Data Dictionary on MS SQL Server 6.0

Has anyone had any success creating a Delphi 2.0 data
dictionary on an MS SQL Server 6.0 database?

I'm using the Dictionary/New... option from SQL Explorer. I've
tried it using both a native SQL and an ODBC alias to SQL 6.0.
With the native drivers, I get a 'Table is not indexed'
message.  With ODBC, I get a 'Dictionary is corrupt' message.

Any similar or different experiences?

Thanks,

I have successfully created a data dict on MS Sql Server 6.0.
Don't try and create a Data Dict as 'sa', this does not work.
There are plenty of other problem with the Explorer and MS SQL.
There are lots of little things that don't work.

Give youself 'grant all to xxx' in your database, create a
new BDE database connection in the explorer, and give it a go.

Let me know how you work out.
