We've had very good results so far with Cognos' Impromptu and also with CA's Andyne GQL. > ODBC is not an option. That's a very odd statement, could you clarify it? Most third-party report writers use ODBC anyway, very few support native access. Impromptu does, but you still need Informix-Net. BTW, just a general FYI to the group: Impromptu was the only report writer we got to connect to a local Windows SE database to date. -- Ciao, Billy Nose to the ground and ear to the grindstone in: Johannesburg Why is it hard for women to find men who are sensitive, caring and good looking?
