Hi there, Does anyone know what the best ODBC-driver is in combination with VC6.0 and Informix 7.3? Does this driver conform to ODBC 3.0? Greetings, Edwin Hoogervorst (ehoogervorst@distel.nl) Distel Software b.v. Leiderdorp The Netherlands

The latest Intersolv driver that comes with Informix SDK is v3.11. The earlier version is probably just as fine v3.01. You can download the SDK by going to the Informix web site under products. It takes you to a third party company, Intraware, where you need to fill out some info and get a user id and password. Then you can download the SDK. I wrote an article describing how to install and configure the SDK at www.questisinc.com/waiugart.htm. I've never looked, but these drivers may be available directly from Intersolv's web site. Let me know if they are. Both of these drivers are compatible with ODBC 3.0. Good luck.

You could try our ODBC driver: SCO SQL-Retriever; it will work fine with Informix 7 (SE & OnLine) on several types of UNIX. It supports the ODBC 3 driver manager, but is still only ODBC 2 compliant. Take a look at http://www.sco.com/vision/products/sqlretriever/ for more information and a downloadable eval. If you need an ODBC 3 driver, you probably want Intersolv.
