If you don't have ODBC to get the data direct from Informix, you can always use UNLOAD to do it. Use isql or dbaccess with the command: UNLOAD TO "filename" SELECT * FROM tabname This will give you an ASCII file that you can import to Word, Excel or VB. Also if you need any special delimiter, like tab, you can add that to the unload command.
