Hello Can someone tell me why, when I try to open a database with a large number of tables, via odbc, more then 60% of the tables are not shown? I'm using Crystal 8.5, Informix 7 and Win XP Pro. Thanks. Paulo Ferreira

Could it be that the "tables" you're not seeing are actually parameterized views? We had the same issue when browsing Visual FoxPro databases, the issue turned out to be the views that were missing were parameterized. Can't remember off the top of my head if it was an OLE DB issue, or a CR issue. -- William Fields MCSD - Microsoft Visual FoxPro US Bankruptcy Court Phoenix, AZ "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin "Paulo Ferreira" <anonimo@clix.pt> wrote in message news:424bd608$0$2194$a729d347@news.telepac.pt... > Hello > > Can someone tell me why, when I try to open a database with a large number > of tables, via odbc, more then 60% of the tables are not shown? > I'm using Crystal 8.5, Informix 7 and Win XP Pro. > Thanks. > > Paulo Ferreira >

Thanks, but this is not the case.
