The following is on a Sun box with CF 4.5.1 We are trying to get an Informix connection between CF and the Informix Server, but have run into dead ends. This is due in-part to the fact we are not sure what CF is looking for in the Native Drive set up, and the ODBC driver setup. Does anyone have any insight into what the settings should look like? here is what I am guessing are the meanings of the fields.. [native driver] Data Source Name: what do I want to call the connection (ifmxlink) Description: the description for this connection (my test ifmx connection) Default Database: the database I start off with (somedb) Server: the machine name that has the db on it (host.domain.com) Host: the first column from the sqlhosts file (ifmxhost) Service: the port number/service we are using (5383) protocal: the second column of the sqlhosts file (ontlitcp) Client Locale: blank Database Locale: blank or..odbc driver... Data Source Name: what I want to call the connection (ifmxodbc) Description: my description for this connection (my test odbc connection) Database Name: the DB I want to connect to on the other end (somedb) Server Host Name: the host that the db lives on (host.domain.com) Use INFORMIX registry for Logon ID and Password: (checked) I am specifying a username/password in the username/password fields that I know can connect to the DB Does anyone have any insight into this problem? We are connecting to the db from this host to the db server with other applications (C++ & PHP), but would also like CF to be able to use the DB. benji --- Ben Spencer Web Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] x 2288 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body or visit the list page at www.houseoffusion.com
