Re: Am I just dumb or what?
Try openning a connection to the On-Line database from your main application, the have another function in a DLL open another connection. I believe Informix will see these as two different applications provide a server for each one. We had to do that in a JAM application where we did not have access to JAM's connection ID -- so, we just called the library routine to do the task and it had to open a new connection. This, would work on the LAN, Net, or via PPP dial-ins. Hope this helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James L.
