I am in a quandry. We have a current SE 2.10.03 database under SCO Enterprise 5 that we are migrating to SE 7.10.UD1. In addition, I have an additional requirement to access this with a Windows 95 box running Access 7. SQL Retreiver 4.0 was suggested as a means of getting from one point to the other, so we bought that. My problems: 1) The retreiver documentation is poor on how to get the connection up and running. 2) I have only the runtime product for SE, ESQL/RT, and SQL. Therefore no documentation. 3) Tech support at either organization can't seem to understand I want to talk to a product other than the one they sell! (Actually understanable.) 4) Tech support for our main app has never done this. (Why do you want WIN95 to talk to Informix? Get X!) (Sigh.) What I could use is the following: 1) A clue. Will rent to own. FAQ is OK. 2) Documentation on setting up ESQL for TCP/IP access. 3) Setting up the ODBC driver to talk to ESQL. 4) If more info is needed I'd be glad to provide. -Don -- Don Mac Phee | The universe is not only stranger than we imagine; Systems Manager | it's stranger than we *CAN* imagine.
