The manuals you need will be under Informix CLI and Informix Connect. There are installation and configuration guides that should be helpfull. :I am new to Informix, so a place to go to get help would be greatly :appreciated! :Thanks in advance. :RobKraft@msn.com : : : Nils.Myklebust@idg.no NM Data AS, P.O.Box 9090 Gronland, N-0133 Oslo, Norway My opinions are those of my company The Informix FAQ is at http://www.iiug.org
