Hi,
when i set up my informix ODBC and click on the <apply and test connection>, an error prompting Unable to load translation DLL. Any help is appreciated.

Are you on Win 95/98 ? If so check the PATH in autoexec.bat
If you installed to the default location c:\program files\... then you need to put double quotes around it in autoexec.bat i.e. PATH=...;&quot;c:\program files\informix\bin&quot;;...

Never could see why they could not cater for this in installation. Just one of many minor niggles.

Hi,
I have tried using double quotes on the path, but the error of unable to load translation DLL still persist.
 
At the DOS prompt try typing 'set' and check if the 'c:\program files\informix\bin' is set. if not you could enter the above via &quot;start - Settings - Control Panel - System - Advanced (tab) - Environment Variables&quot; this is for a W2000 environment. Oh, the autoexec.bat mod mentioned above requires a reboot. Oh anther thing, was the client install of Informix installed in 'c:\program files\informix' or somewhere else?

Cheers.
