Did support for linking > statically come in a later version of Informix 7? Jim, Informix started shipping shared libraries with 7.10.UD1. I don't think that the static versions are included so I don't think you will be able to link your program statically. Our partnership with Informix allows us to ship the shared libraries with our applications. You may want to look into what your licensing allows. Kurt Mehlhoff Information Advantage Inc.
