I followed the advice given by Nils Myklebust (see below) and everything worked like a charm! I am using IIS4 (the latest NT 4.0 Option Pack). Thank you Nils! >Nils.Myklebust@nmdata.com (Nils Myklebust) Wrote: Date: 1998/02/02 I can understand that!Why do you even try?Just check out the faq at: Primary site (Beta Version) http://www.smooth1.demon.co.uk Official site http://www.iiug.org/techinfo/faq/faq_top.html (I think you still have to go to the Primary (Beta) site) about ODBC. You will find that you have to read the whitepaper at http://www.openlinksw.com about ODBC. Then download the openlink ver. 3 drivers. Make sure you get the server based version of their drivers. Install the server part on your AIX box's and the generic driver on Windows NT. Your chances of success will have increased substantially. You should however not blame Informix alone. Their native drivers that the Informix CLI product use are not particularly well designed to say the least, but the ODBC drivers are from Intersolv and they are not exactly top notch either. The Openlink drivers are very easy to install, give you very good performance and give extra security options and other features you may find very usefull. They may cost a little more, but they are generallyworth it.
