It may be on a separate part of the CD or may not be included with the product at all (Informix changes their product configs so often I can't keep up). In any case, the installation program that I ran installed only the Informix DLLs that are in turn used by an ODBC driver or an application environment capable of using native drivers like Delphi C/S or PB Enterprise. Check with Informix on what was included with the product they shipped you. I hope this helps, Frank Dickinson frdi@gate.net
