> Thanks Ciaran - that 'almost' did the trick - I got further than usual. I
> re-installed MSVC 5, and New Era (as user informix), and was able to
> create a PWS for user informix. What I usually do then is log in as
> myself (i.e. a development user) and create my own PWS, but re-use the
> existing one. Usually when I do this, RSAT prompts "The PWS already
> exists, do you want to re-use it?". Unfortunately, I'm still getting the
> crash on sqlexec.exe, with errors -66562 (A database error has occurred),
> and -1812 (Internal Error). Sometimes these errors are a bit of a red
> herring I suspect! Also, an Ilogin test does connect this time.
