I use ESQL to : compile these modules to object files, and then link these with the C++ : program (which is compiled separately). One of these applications runs 24 : hours a day synchronizing our Informix database with our PICK database. : I've not had any problems so far. I also use the aforementioned solution successfully. In our development environment, other programs (using C++) do not care to know, or need to know, about SQL, etc. I have a db library for any routines that perform database operations. Carol Stimmel
