Hi William, and what about other informix data types. I'm trying to access Informix = Online 7.12 with Access97 via Informix-CLI 2.5 (this driver seems to = come from Intersolv). So, DECIMAL/MONEY converts to a text string. And a = SERIAL becomes a number. Any ideas why this happens? And is it an Access = problem or just an ODBC problem? Many thanks for your help! --=20 cu Reiner (munich, germany)
