Most of our desktops have the old Informix 2.8 ODBC drivers which allow some VB front ends to connect to the database. There is a need to upgrade to the latest version ( I think Informix 3.32 ODBC ). Installing the new drivers on every PC doesn't seem like the right way to manage it. Doesn't sound too appealing either. Is there a way to install ODBC on a network drive, set up all the DSN's there in one place? Is there a different driver that I should be looking at, which will allow this type of functionality? Current version: Informix 7.30UC6 upgrading to 9.20UC2 soon Thanks in advance, -Kevin
