Re: What is needed to connect Informix table to MS Access database

Yes, Informix provides a Windows 95/NT CLI/ODBC drivers with the server software. Check one of the dozen or so distribution CD's that you got for something that says CLI. With Windows NT, it conforms fully to the ODBC specs (as far as I know). Once installed, simply set up you data sources and you should be in business. If you are planning on doing any ODBC-JDBC bridges, you will need these drivers. If you don't/can't find them, call Informix customer support of new media.
