Visual Basic
Engel Ofer asked how to access Informix from Visual Basic. Art S. Kagel said to install the Informix ODBC driver (free with the Informix SDK) and define a datasource. Peter Tanko added the OLE DB driver via ADO. Engel twice asked about OLE DB versus ODBC advantages; no answer appeared in the thread.

Yes, just install the Informix, or other compatible, ODBC driver, define the ODBC datasource, and poof. The Informix ODBC driver is free with the Informix SDK which also includes Informix Embedded SQL in C, the native C++ interface, native CLI (ODBC) library API, and other development tools. You can download the SDK from the IntraWare WEB Site. Art S. Kagel
