Re: BIG ROOKIE QUESTION

I wouldn't use the Informix CLI driver. It's much simpler to go to http://www.openlinksw.com and download one of their demo drivers (not the "Lite" version). You need to install one part on your HP server and another on each PC. It's rather simple though and well explained. They also have a white paper available on ODBC that you should read. It's on their web page. These drivers have several features that the Informix/Intersolve drivers lack and that you will eventually find that you need. Security is only one among them. And it works fine with Crystal Reports, MS Access, Visual Basic and any other tool that use ODBC. Good luck.
