    Hello
    1. The behavior is 100% consistent: always fails
    2. Server is local
    3. Tested with Connectivity Explorer and Softing OPC test client. Both clients display property values without error 
    4-5. Tested 4 properties (DataType, AccessRights, Value, Quality) on several items - all failed with the same E_NETWORK_ERROR

    Updated to version QuickOPC: 5.84.374 - the same error

    Hello.

    Some questions:

    1. Is this consistent behavior (happens always), or does it happen just sometimes?
    2. Is the server actually remote, or local?
    3. Please clarify "OpcLabs test clients read properties without error" - which clients?
    4. Have you tried other properties (not just DataType), and if so, what were the results?
    5. Does it happen only on specific OPC items, or on any item?

    Regards
