Is there some way to connect a spreadsheet product to an Informix database? The preferred configurations are: Informix Online 5.+ on SCO/Unix spreadsheet on the Unix system with the database or spreadsheet running on a MacIntosh running system 7. prefer Excel. Does anyone know what pieces are out there? Thanks in advance. Wingz (from Informix) will do what you want. Wingz is available on the Mac and maybe on SCO. HyperScript Tools will also do it, but I don't know what the availability is. Wingz uses an Informix add-on called Datalink that connects to Informix DB using Inet. HST has inbuilt SQL functionality. They are both pretty good GUI builders, allowing apps to be rapidly built. Let me know if you want more info. Phil
