I thought that ISQL-runtime would let you run ACE reports and PERFORM screens generated by ISQL-development. We've just been told by Informix Tech Support that that is not so, that ISQL-runtime is DBACCESS and that only the ISQL-development product gives you the capability to run ACE rpts & PERFORM screens. Is this correct? What product does DBACCESS come with, the engine or ISQL-runtime or what? -- ____________________________________________________________________ | Colin McGrath cmm@trac3000.ueci.com | Raytheon Engineers & Constructors, Inc.
