Inet does indeed work with Powerbuilder but I don't like it. It had some bugs and performance wasn't very good. A big plus to setting it up via ODBC is you can use any ODBC source interchangeably and other programs that use ODBC (besides powerbuilder) will be able to use the informix database. Lastly - it's cheaper. Recommended (no connection other than a happy user) Openlink ODBC. They put a request broker on the server so you don't need ISTAR either! http://www.openlink.co.uk -- Daniel Wynalda/N8KUD/SYSOP |Consultants Connection BBS | 616-363-6680 danielw@wybbs.mi.org | 2783 Sandalwood Ct NE | Grand Rapids, MI 49505
