Informix - Access

[oharab]

We have a large system running on Informix, but the reporting provided is rubbish.
Is there an ODBC type driver that I can use to link Informix data tables to MS Access?

Cheers

Hi,

"Informix Connect" and "Informix Client Software Development Kit (CSDK)" provides the facility to connect the backend database server using any generic front-end tools via ODBC agent. You can download a relevant version of these driver-set applicable for you Operating System from the link:

Informix Client Software Development Kit (CSDK):

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/product.jsp?id=RBAR-4ZFM5S&s=z&cat=&S_TACT=&S_CMP=

These driver setup package comes along with installation instructions and e-manuals. You need to make certain changes at the backend to get the things start going. These are documented in the following threads:

Please post your findings, in case you encounter any problem during installation, configuration and startups.
