Re: Connecting to Informix via TCP\\IP Question

There is only one way: Use an ODBC driver. Make sure you buy one from a third party that does not need I-Net/I-Connect from Informix. You may check out http://www.openlinksw.com for one of the best ODBC drivers arround and realy simple to set up. Read their white paper on ODBC before you do anything else. Obviously you shouldn't try to run the client on anything but Windows 95 or NT (NT is significantly better), but I assume you know that as you are talking about VB4 or 5.
