I could not get Openlink to work with I-net--tried this past week-end--but COULD get Intersolv's 3.x drivers to work, WITHOUT I-net. I tested them with Informix OWGS, and SQLServer, and the clients were S-Designor/Appdesigner, ER/Win, Visual Basic, and Visual C++. Didn't try with Access--don't have it. Openlink Lite clearly states you must use the I-net with their ODBC driver; maybe the non-lite products do not require I-net.
