You need Informix-Net (I-Net). This is true for all front-end development products, Delphi, PB, VB, and NewEra included. There are some ODBC drivers that by-pass I-Net, but you'd then need to buy the drivers instead, plus some software on the server. ------------------------------------,------------------------------------------ Kerry Sainsbury, kerry@kcbbs.gen.nz | THE INFORMIX FAQ v2.4 Oct 95 Quanta Systems, Auckland | kcbbs.gen.nz:/pub/informix/ New Zealand.
