Dbaccess is ships free with the engine. It is not intended to compete with tools that other vendors charge extra for. >Why Informix hasn't come out with a tool like this I don't know (not the full >MS Access package, but a query builder with update functionallity to replace >dbaccess). I haven't tried Viewpoint Pro lately. Viewpoint Pro now has update capability. It also has the ability to run SQL statements and to scroll the output. It also allows you to set a limit on the number of rows fetched. The older Informix-DBA product also allowed graphical, scrolling SQL statements. Informix-SQL is still available for running on character-based terminals. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Randall Rhea Systems Engineer Informix Software randall@informix.com
