Maybe you'll need I-Net anyway, so it will be ESQL/C vs. CLI. I don't know what's best there, since I have never tried CLI. I would tend to think ESQL/C is a more proven solution, if that matters to you. Of course you can also do your programs in Informix 4GL in this scenario. (Or ESQL/COBOL for that matter). -- 'yvind Gjerstad Systems dept Tollpost-Globe AS N-6301 'ndalsnes/Norway E-mail: ogj@it.tollpost.no Phone: +47 7122 6663 Fax: +47 7122 6694
