This 'feature'is now registered as BUG by Informix Our 4gl Applikations which we updatet too from 4.1 to 6.0 are very slow and somtimes a query from the current database to another will tell me that the specified table(s) are not the (other) database (which is NOT true). currently i'm talking with informix about it I had already nightmares because of this 'downgrade' Is there anyone out there who is happy with Informix DB-Access Version 7.10.UD2 and SCO Open Server 5 and INFORMIX-4GL Version 6.03.UC1 ?
