I have several instances on the same machine, and out of no where all of them are giving me the error "951: Incorrect password or user informix is not known on the database serve" when ever I try to connect to the database. Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appreciated! I'm running IDS 9.2.

Informix uses the same user name & password as the unix for initial access, you must check the access privileges on your database for those users who may have access to your database. UPDATE STATISTICS may help if no one has tempered with the permissions. -- Compliments of QueriX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QueriX 4GL Compilers are Informix 4GL Compatible, and Connection to other RDBMS such as Oracle.
