Big problem with datadirector for VB

I've downloaded INFORMIX - Data Director for Visual Basic from Intraware, and I can't connect to a remote Informix Server using the Startup Wizard. I can connect to a local Access database and create a form, and it seems to be working fine. I'm working on a Windows NT 4.0 O.S. and I'm connecting to a SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2 O.S. I have the Informix CLI v.2.50.TD2, and I've installed the 2.80 32 BIT ODBC Driver and the INTERSOLV 3.10 32-BIT Informix Driver that came with Data Director. I've tried both with 'Data Director Connect' (Connect Mode - Driver Complete) and both return 'Connect succeeded!' Following the wizard's steps, I choose 'Import a New Model', then choose the DSN I've created before (and tested with 'Data Director Connect' and it succeeds, and then it shows me the 'Items to Import' form and I can see and choose the tables of the database, but when I choose 'Next', it doesn't do the import of the tables. When the 'Master Table Selection' form appears, there is no table to choose. If I use the Visual Basic 6 VB Data Form Wizard to create a form, I can access the database using the DSN with the INTERSOLV 3.10 32-BIT Informix Driver, but not using the INFORMIX 2.80 32BIT Driver. I've tried both Visual Basic 5 and Visual Basic 6, and the result is the same. What could be wrong? Thanx in advance Luis Guerra
