I should also have added that you need to verify that you can access the database(s) using either server name. Eg: stores@edvanta & stores@edvltcp -- if you can't, you've got OnLine setup problems which will prevent DBD::Informix from testing OK. Also, if you've got everything else working OK, there's very little chance that the failures in the multiconn will hide defects in DBD::Informix itself. And, finally for now, you should have edvltcp listed in the DBSERVERALIASES part of the ONCONFIG file. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
