Re: Informix Connect - acquire password

Hi Elvis, I am not sure if I get your question correctly ... If you are asking to get the password in plain text(which is stored in encrypted format) from the mentioned registry location using ODBC then you can't do it ... Regarding Informix Connect, Yes you should be able to connect to IDS using ODBC. You just need to create DSN or specify connection string in your application ...Basically Informix Connect is run time libraries of CSDK. ODBC 3.34 is pretty old ...why don't you use CSDK/ICONNECT 2.90.TC3/TC4(i.e ODBC 2.90.TC3/TC4)?
