[SNIP] Marius, A few suggestions: 1) Try writing INFORMIXSERVER (i.e. all capital letters) 2) Your hostname -- xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -- looks strange to me 3) After the port number -- 1533 -- and before the colon character -- ":" -- insert two slash characters -- "//" -- followed by the name of the database you want to connect to.
