I don't know what's special about the "evaluation" version of Informix. If you're taling Informix Online however, the problem could possibly be that your database was not created with any kind of logging enabled. You'll probably want to create the database with unbuffered logging (or turn on unbuffered logging if the database is already created). Turning on logging for a database requires doing a level 0 archive of the server. If you are using 'ontape' for backup, this can be accomplished with the following command: onatpe -s -U databasename Substitute the name of your database for "databasename" above. This will do a level zero archive and turn on unbuffered logging for the specified database. HTH -- Irwin Goldstein Objective Software Systems, Inc. http://www.objectsoft.com
