Hi Header pretty much says it all. Every time a user kicks off an app which should be using 1 database licence it is taking 2, thus halving the number of users who can use the system. This doesn't seem right. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Anyone got any ideas? Modify the application so that it makes just one connection to the database? Can you show us what you mean if it isn't that? You could also think about CPU-based licencing instead of user-based licencing. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.01 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
