=20 More info, =20 We specify this line in the application ini file. =20 =20 David ______________________________ Forward Header _________________________= _________ =20 We use both the pbin5050.dll and pbin7050.dll on the same PC (PB=20= =0A 5.03). The difference is that pbin7050.dll is the 32 bit dll. T= o use=20 this one you need to change: =20 dbms =3D IN5 I-Net v5.x to dbms =3D IN7 I-Net v5.x =20 PB only looks at the first 3 characters ie: IN5 or IN7 to make up = the=20 DLL name. =20 =20 Regards =20 =20 David Ashby =20 =20 ______________________________ Reply Separator ________________________= _________ =20 =20 You mean both files pbin5050.dll and pbin7050.dll exists what I have to= do=20 is to rename pbin7050 to pbin5050. Why can't it work without any "renam= ing"=20 if PB supports both. =20 I'll check with our pbinxxx.dll files. Now, our application is running = fine=20 with Informix 7, but the PB vendor says it won't work and the Informix = vendor says it might contain bugs. =20 I hope they are not just trying to sell a new version. =20 Nien =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: keong-leh_chng@hp.com <keong-leh_chng@hp.com>=20 To: Sui <Sui> Date: Tuesday, April 07, 1998 04:33 =E5 Subject: Re: PowerBuilder 5 with Informix 7.13 =20 =20 > >ANTS wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> We are using PowerBuilder 5 and we are upgrading Informix to 7.13. = The=20 PB >> documentation says that it does support Informix 7.x but the PB=20 >> representative says No, there are no native drivers. >> >> Is that true?? >> >> Nien >> =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D >> Mails are checked daily and processed right away. >> If you don't get my replies within 3 days please send your mail agai= n.=20 > >Hi Nien, > >Yes we're actually using the Informix 7.x.
