Hallo everybody! I use Informix OnLine Server 7.1 under OS Solaris 2.4 on Sun SPARC Server 1000. But I have a problem of access to Informix from client applications designed with Microsoft Office products (MS Exel, MS Access, etc), which are running on the remote personal computer. I planned to use ODBC to realise this connection, however, it seems, that I have no special driver for the realization of inter- connection of ODBC and Informix SQL Server. In this connection I'd like to get some information: 1. Is it possible to access the Informix OnLine Server 7.1 from client applications via ODBC and which ODBC drivers I should use? 2. What products (designed by Informix or by third companys), except ODBC itself are needed? 3. Will you suggest your own version of access Informix OnLine 7.1 Server from client application designed with MS Office Products? ANY help will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
