We have not tried PowerBuilder 5 yet. Here is what we have tested with PowerBuilder 4. 1. Memory leakage with SQL -- PowerBuilder claimed they have fixed the problem in their part, but Informix has not. 2. Memory leakage with datawindow -- PowerBuilder still claimed it is Informix's problem. 3. Memory leakage with local access (reading and writing millions of lines) -- PowerBuilder claimed it is Microsoft's problem. 4. Recursive calls worked in PowerBuilder 3 stopped working in PowerBuilder 4 -- PowerBuilder claimed recursive calls are not supported. Chao
