You should have setnet32 entries that you can model from on the machine you're developing on, or any machine where your application works for that matter. You need:

1) The servername or IP of the Informix server
2) The port number IDS is listening on
3) The protocol used to connect to the server, usually onsoctcp.
3) A username and password

Unless the 3.0 CSDK remove the need for setnet32 entries, which I bet it does not, you will have to add the entries to setnet32, sorry. Setnet32 entries are stored in the registry so you could script the addition of the entries that you need just don't ask me how, I'm not a registry guy.

I doubt that the 3.0 driver will make your deployment any easier but I have not "played" with the 3.0 CSDK yet so I really cannot speak to that. I would think that your only chance at the 3.0 CSDK making your life easier is if the current .NET provider is replaced with a native one, which I had heard would be happening, and the new provider does not require setnet32, doubtful but desirable.

Thanks for the registry pointer. I'll see what I can find in my
registry, then in my app load write it first and see if that works.

I am disapointed with the driver if I have to plug the registry each
time I make a UserID/PW change.

Corporate rules are to change them monthly in data connections for
some apps, and guess which ones I have to control?

I'm not afraid to write to the reg or update the sucker. It's just a
sorry kludge when I have a connection string defined in the app.config
and I want it encrypted and easily updated.


the registry looks like a hack for the PW so I'll avoid that!!!
