Yes, I-CLI (Informix Call Level Interface) is the ODBC manager and driver implemented as shared libraries. It comes bundled with NE3. You can freely choose to use native or ODBC connection in your NE3 apps. > 2.

You get 32-bit connectivity bundled with NE3. There is a SETNET-32 program to setup connection data. The data is written to the windows95/NT registry database, so you don't need informix.ini anymore. > 3.

See above. -- best regards +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Claus Samuelsen Sysdeco Danmark A/S | | Project Manager Gydevang 22B | | email: csa@sysdeco.dk DK-3450 Aller'd | | phone: +45 4814 3000 Denmark | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
