wine users - Nov 2009 - database program only opens for a moment

I installed "optimum control" which is a restaurant cost control
program.  it uses the native mdac for the odbc connection and i am pretty sure
it uses the .net framework. the thing is I can get through the login screen, and
the odbc connections opened properly.  But after that the main window loads for
a second and then closes.  I dont get any error message, I have run dependency
walker and have fulfilled all external dependencies. the program has a log file
that produces no error messages.  It just seems to exit for no reason.  I am
using the latest version of wine on ubuntu 9.10.
the only feedback i get is if i run in the terminal

nathan at ubuntu:~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Tracrite$ env
WINEPREFIX="/home/nathan/.wine" wine
"C:\Tracrite\ocontrol.exe" /ocdemo
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl SIO_GET_EXTENSION_FUNCTION_POINTER

By "fulfilling all dependencies" I assume you mean you installed .NET,
etcetera. Did you use the original downloads for this, or did you use
winetricks? Winetricks is the proper way to install these as extra tricks have
to be done to install them correctly under Wine.

yes i did. I probably spent all day yesterday trying to figure out what the
problem was but i have found anything that makes a differenece.  I have tried
emulating every different available win version from win98 to win2008.
unfortunatly this is proprietary software so I have no insight into the inner
workings of it.
