Re: a little help please...

Marisa, I'm not an Informix expert but it sounds like you may have lost the DBPATH and it does not know where your database resides. I may be way off in left field on this one. I'm sure someone will provide you with a fix post-haste. They always have for me. Like most compilers, the error line reported could be the next line to be executed. Look up in the code toward line 44 or 45. The error manual suggests a problem with a "DATABASE" statement. Marisa A.
