Re: problem with informix connect .please help
As you have asked this question in treads 797523 and 796769 before, see answers given there.
You can use the command:
cd /
find / -name "*sqlhosts*"
to find your file on the server.

Re: problem with informix connect .please help
can you please clarify:
1. You are running Informix 5.05 on an 10.2 HPUX platform
2. Which windows application do you want to use to extract data from the Informix DB?
(Execl,Access...)
3. You have valid access to the machine and DB. i.e. you know what the server is called and the database?
For example:
Excel
Data -> Get External Data ->New Database Query ->New Data Source .....

Re: problem with informix connect .please help
my question is very clear!!
when you try to extract data from database running on unix through ODBC.
at first you must register this database in ODBC.
my question is how register database running on hp-ux environment in windows ODBC???
i get the informix driver from IBM website
this driver is (INFORMIX CONNECT)
i installed this driver in my PC (windows 2000).
now i want to register my database (running on hp-ux) in ODBC to extract data from it
(through execl.access.sqlserver,....)
i can't establish the connection with database. the following error apper
(can't locate service in etc/services)
can u help me in this problem??
thankx

Re: problem with informix connect .please help
sorry,I was just trying to get the problem clear in my own head.
I assume you have read:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/ct1ufna.pdf which describes setting up connections.
Also Ensure that the INFORMIXDIR is in your PATH on windows
That would be all I ever had to do to get OODBC to work.
