Below is an example of the kind of email I receive fairly frequently..Any idea why I get this error msg?

The key part of the message is nearly always "ensure INFORMIXSERVER value exists in the registry and environment".The way to troubleshoot this error is: echo %INFORMIXSERVER% - does it have the correct value? if not make sure you have run the %INFORMIXDIR%\%INFORMIXSERVER%.cmd script to set your environment correctl
