Accessing Online and SE simultaneously

I have an Online 4GL application and would like to be able to access an SE database at the same time. The application, SE and Online all live on the same server, if that helps. Any ideas as to if this is possible and how? Versions: HP/UX 10.20 INFORMIX-4GL Version 7.20.UD6 INFORMIX Online Version 7.24.UC7 INFORMIX SE Version 5.08.UD3 TIA Chris

And do, please, make sure you can access your SE databases from the 7.24 DB-Access before you involve I4GL in the equation. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v0.60 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
