Also, what problems/bugs should I look out for in versions > 5/6?. 6.00 gives you all the latest features and, according to Informix, the most extensive test program they have ever implemented. 5.0x gives you fewer features and has been subjected to a less rigorous test program. My experience with 6.00 (given one bug in OnLine which, as an SE user, you probably won't encounter) has been very favourable. Plus, they might just charge you more for going from 5 to 7/8 than from 6. No contest IMHO. akent@cix.compulink.co.uk (Andy Kent) ------------------------------------- +44 117 974 2815
