Yes you can as long as the following exists. If you have the correct middleware that allows the network communication to Informix you can. If there is something similar to SQL*Net for Informix then you can just use the Informix ODBC driver if there is one and you need the network communication software on the IIS Server. It is exactly the same way as connectoing to Oracle. You need tohe Oracle ODBC driver, and then SQL*Net on the IIS Server to communicate to the Oracle database which might be on DG-UX, Solaris, Linux, NT, or even Netware.

whoops.... I was proven wrong I thought you could only do that with SQL database and PHP/MySQL databases... and in PHP I know you can call another page. I didnt know that though.
