Q+E and Informix

Hi there, When I try to connect to any database in Informix v7.3 via Q+E v5.05, I get the following error: 'cannot open file sql.iem'. Does anyone know the cause of this error? Thanks, Michael O'Sullivan.

In ancient releases it has been in $INFORMIXDIR/msg, in newr releases it is in $INFORMIXDIR/msg/en_us/0333. I think you should check language dependent variables such as DBLANG, CLIENT_LOCALE, ... And INFORMIXDIR of course.

And INFORMIXDIR of course. If that is the problem you can make softlinks to the message files in $INFORMIXDIR/msg itself from the subdir to support such older applications. This sometimes works.
