You cant use that to access SE from VB. Or perhaps you mean PC/NFS from Sun wich includes TCP/IP. There are also many other TCP/IP's available, including one free from Microsoft. > Can you recommend me a good ODBC driver to use in accessing > INFORMIX SE 6.0 using Visual Basic. ODBC is what you need to use VB to access SE 6.0. Informix now have their own ODBC driver intelligently called Informix-CLI. From what I here it works very well. I have it, but haven't had the time to install it yet. It includes I-Net for the PC which you would have to buy separately for some other ODBC drivers. By the way, you might also want to look into VB 4.0 that has a lot of new functionallity for database access. (Also look at Delphi of course.)
