how can i access an informix database on a SCO Unix system from my windows work staion.
 
define access?

I'm not that familiar with informix, but with most rdbms's you can have the database server listen for client connections on a tcp port.
 
Hi,

What informix version? For informix 5.x you need informix-star installed, form informix 7.x, you need some configuration (sqlhosts, hosts, hosts.equiv).

On windows, you need one ODBC like informix-cli.

Then you create a DSN to use from you application.

I hope this help you
