Connecting to an older Informix database

Question

Hi there,

Trying to figure out how to connect to what I think is a
pretty old Informix database (Informix RSAM Version 5.20.UC1) using
CFMX 7.0.2. The documenation I've been reading seems to indicate
that CF supports 9.x natively, and that to connect to 7.3 you need
to install the IBM drivers, but I think this is even older?

If anyone can help, it would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Update on this one -- I discovered that some users were using Crystal 9 to connect to the database, and they were installing a set of Informix ODBC drivers to be able to do so. So, I grabbed the ODBC drivers and installed them. Then, I set up a new "ODBC Socket" datasource and picked mine from the list. Works great! A side note -- the JDBC drivers obviously do not connect correctly.
