RE: IDS7.30TC7 and Win NT sp6

Hi, I was talking with our Informix help support people last week about this matter - as in what service pack versions are certified to what Informix products. If I remember correctly (and I was referring to the product we use here - Informix Dynamic Server - Workgroup Edition for NT): version 7.30 TC7 was certified to SP5 version 7.30 TC9 was certified to SP6 version 7.31 TC5 was certified to SP6 Service packs are backwardly compatible - as in later SP's include the updates of earlier SP's - you don't have to apply them sequentially. Also to note, if running a Windows NT network - if you have servers running SP3 and SP4 or later then you will have problems - in SP4 Microsoft changed the way security is handled making for synchronisation problems within domain - see M$ Knowledge base article Q197488.
