We use VB and On-Line with Sql-Retriever in between, and are pretty happy with the results. I have also used OpenLink and found that a good product also. Informix-Net on the pc makes for a big protocul stack and too many DLLs. The general impression seems to be that it is slow, difficult to configure and does not leave much room for anything else.
