Basically: any Windows client tool can be used in conjunction with ODBC drivers. Borland's Delphi seems to be a popular option, MS-Access is often used for small apps, as is Visual Basic. However, I would certainly recommend that you look at Informix New Era as this would probably have the smallest learning curve, plus it's a real C/S tool, not just a GUI... > Sorry if this question has been asked 1.000.000.000.000 times :-) > but...
