This will be through a VB front-end ! >Do I need special Informix drivers to do this ? Yes, Informix like all backends requires that you purchase an ODBC driver that is a match. On another note, when you finally get the driver running, you may be much better off to use Informix stored procedures if at all possible. At the very least, use SQLPASSTHROUGH. The Informix engine is very quick and easy to work with. The 4GL product is actually a descendant of Darthmoth Basic, just as is VB. kd9fb@xnet.com http://www.xnet.com/~kd9fb
