Re: Powerbuilder 3 w/ Informix-connect 7 ?

The problem may be that the informix 7.2 connectivity product (I-Connect) is a 32 bit driver. If you are using PB 3.0, then this must be a 16 bit application running under 95. If you want to remain 16 bit, then you must use a 16 bit Informix driver (I-Net version 5.x, which you can use even if the database backend is version 7.x). If you would like to go to 32 bit, then you can use the I-Connect 7.2, but you must use 32 bit Powerbuilder. I hope this helps.
