Make sure you keep coming back. We're a friendly bunch! For more info, check out the Informix WWW site (http://www.informix.com) and the International Informix User Group (http://www.iiug.org). I'm not sure if you can find the FAQ at either of these (but it's likely). If not, use the c.d.i search facility, and look for the most recent posting by Kerry Sainsbury - his .sig contains the URL. Good Luck!!! Richard.
