The error occurs if PBIN5050.DLL cannot be loaded, which might be due to it not being found in the path OR it being the wrong bit version (16 vs. 32) OR the DLL's it is linked with not being found in the path. For I-NET 5, the DLL provided by Informix with which PB is linked is ISQLI501.DLL (release WJ2 for 16-bit and TE1 for 32-bit). Jim O'Neil Powersoft Technical Support joneil@powersoft.com
