It would probably be a good idea to post the sqlhosts. sqlhosts should look something like - on_ids_tcp olsoctcp serv_name sqlexec on_ids_shm onipcshm serv_name on_ids_shm have you got and entry in /etc/services for sqlexec (normally 1525)? What ODBC driver are you using and what settings have you used ? Have you got an sqlhosts file on the PCs ? Colin Bull c.bull@videonetworks.com sending to informix-list
