Re: Windows development Tools

David, Long term you would probably be better placed with an activeX solution. It is almost inevitable that ActiveX will dominate given the mentality of most development shops. Its almost Big Blue with a different name (how many of you can remember the saying 'Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM' from the 70s/early 80s?). Microsoft will no doubt encapsulate Java into an ActiveX environment in the near future, if they have not already done so. Another useful venture would be to work with Microsoft to enable Transaction Server to talk to an informix database....which reminds me Tim, add that to your list of goodies would you?
