Re: Access to Informix

We are just launching a project to accomplish this very thing. You will need to connect your Access program to the Informix database via ODBC. There are several Informix-specific ODBC drivers available: try Intersolve or OpenLink. If you are running Informix on a different OS (i.e. UNIX) then you also hace to setup Informix's I-Connect. As for programming issues, there is a good book on MS Access and SQL Server (from Sybex) which has a lot of good tips you could transfer over to an Informix scenario. Also, check out "Access 97 Developers Handbook" (from Sybex) especially chapter 15. Access 97 has much improved support for ODBC. Another helpful book on Access ODBC programming is the "JET Database Engine Programmer's Guide (2nd Edition)" from Microsoft Press.
