Connect Access 97 to Informix--need 16-bit ODBC driver
Denise wanted a 16-bit ODBC driver to connect Access 97 to an Informix database she only knew as Informix RT 1.1 4GL-RT. A poster quoting Art Kagel said that version is about 15 years old and unsupported, with no connect package available, and advised unloading the data and schema and recreating them on a current SE or IDS. Denise thanked him. Unresolved beyond that.

You will not be able to get a compatible connect package for this for remote access I am afraid. The version has been unsupported for many years. I would suggest unloading the data, exporting the schema, purchasing one of the current version engines (Informix Standard Engine (SE) will be most like what you have unless that is really Informix Turbo v1.1 which is the predecessor to Informix Online 4.00 and is ONLY about 10 years old in which case Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) will be closest), and recreating your database in the new server.
