I am running IDS 7.3 on a windows nt 4.0 domain controller machine with windoiws 98/NT 4.0 clients that connect to it using Informix client 2.5. Now i have windows XP machines. I have installed my application software which includes informix client 2.5 on the WIN XP machines successfully. The problem is when i try to execute the application it is failing to connect to the database server and it is giving the following error initially: User "informix" can not connect to the database "database name". Please have your administrator verify your username and password When I click ok and try to search for the database server, the followiung error message appears: Informix error code:2704. [Intersolve][ODBC informix driver]error parsing connect string at offset 81. Unknown database error: 2704 Would anyone know what is causing this problem on the Windows XP machines. Thanks in advance
