It says: 89628 DBACCESS FAILS TO START WITH ERROR "COULD NOT INITIALIZE THE SECURITY SUBSYSTEM", WHEN THE ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE INFORMIXSERVER SET TO A REMOTE SERVER. W/A: DB-Access is failing because it tries to access the following non-existent registry key and sub keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Informix\\OnLine\\<%INFORMIXSERVER%> <%INFORMIXSERVER%> is the value of the environment variable INFORMIXSERVER. A possible workaround is to use a registry editor to create this key and restore the local INFORMIXSERVER sub key over it. Use this workaround only if you plan to use this computer solely as a client to a remote server, because Informix utilities run on or against the local computer would see a server that does not exist. Make sure that you back up the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Informix registry key before modifying any Informix registry settings. It really helps to fix a bug, try it. I.Olexenko
