Hi Kurt,
usually, when connecting DBs via ODBC you use a configured connect. As we are using Informix IDS there is always a spezial connect to the related DB. However, as the driver uses tcpip there are special entries withing c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services. Informix uses ports 1525/tcp and 1526/tcp. SQL Server will use 1433 tcp/udp and 1434 tcp/udp. Your firewall should accept the usage of those in case of DBs must be connected.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
