Thank you for your answers and >please don't whip me too badly........ It depends on which version of ACE you are using, but assuming it is not more than 10 years old, you need to get a set of ISQL manuals, purchasable from Informix. When you have worked out the version number (sacego -V should tell you), then you can be told which version of the manuals to order... If you do not use 'sacego' but use 'acego', we have a more serious problem. You're probably using Informix 3.30 (you have a dbase.dbd file somewhere), and you are rapidly running out of time -- Informix 3.30 has no concept of centuries, so all dates are inherently part of the current century (or maybe its the 20th century), and therefore everything will go haywire starting from 2nd January 2000 (assuming you celebrate the New Year on the 1st:-). If you are using Informix 3.30, it is way past time to upgrade to an SQL-based system.
