Hi all,

I just linked an Informix DB Server (on a W2000) to my W2000 Server with SQL Server. I use Informix ODBC Driver 3.34 to connect to this Informix server because the 3.30 drivers I use for the others Informix servers (Sco Unix) don't work. Yesterday it worked pretty fine, today after rebooting the SQLServer machine it's impossible to connect to the Informix server from the SQLServer itself. The test-connection from the SQLServer machine works fine, but I receive an "ERROR MESSAGE 7399" not well defined while trying to show the list of tables, while if I try to query the DB with the QueryAnalyzer or from programs (ASP or VB) I get an

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned message: Impossibile caricare il driver specificato. Errore di sistema 127 (INFORMIX 3.34 32 BIT).]

(means: Unable to load specified driver. System Error 127)

Does anybody know what can I do to solve this issue? It's not even sure that rebooting the SQLServer machine I get it working, and in the event log I did not find anything relative to this error.

Thanks so much
Vincenzo
