Thanks You could try using PowerBuilder or Visual Basic for your PC MS-Windows based clients and use Informix-4gl for your terminal based clients. Should be no problem at all accessing the database from multiple front-ends. As far as I recall it should be totally invisible from the back-end. -- shopson@Netcom.Com Scott Hopson Costa Mesa, Ca.
