Re: Newbie to informix

I also installed the same version, and succesfully connected from an ODBC source. Do you installed CDSK 2.9? How looks you conn string? Have you used DBPing? It is not bundled in 2.9 (at leat in mine not) but you can download it for free in IBM site (registration requiered) it could be very usefull troubleshting this kind of errors. J.

I tried again after had been read your post and connect after a couple of messages. What seemed to work was test the connection directly from ODBC DSN configuration dialog before attempting to connect from VFP. Thanks any way for your answer. Do you know any tool to manage my IDS server? or a tool to run querys against the database?
