    Can you share us your connection string (of course without credentials)?
    You can get this information on the connection page where you provided user name and password, click on advanced button this will provide complete details about the connection string.


    Thanks,

    The connection string looks pretty obvious.
    Can you try these steps, I would like to verify whether this is not related to informix provider?
    1) Create a blank text file named foo.txt
    2) save the file as foo.udl
    3) double click the udl file it will open universal data link
    4) pick the informix provider
    5) provide all the information and do test connection to see whether it works fine.

    Thanks,

    Sorry I didn't read your post with attention. It looks like connection is not a problem but you couldn't view table and views.
    Can you check whether you have access to see list of tables and views? The issue could happen if the user doesn't have rights to see list of tables and views.

    Mean while, I will investigate why we are not catching the exception properly and fix it in RTM.

    Thanks,

    I have full rights to the tables.  I can view and select from the tables using native SQL commands.  It is the the Table selection wizard that does not work.

    Apologies for delayed repsonse.
    We have fixed the exceptions in RTM. However internally we couldn't reproduce the issue. Can you provide information like what version of informix server and what version of Informix oledb provider you have on the box?

    Thanks,

    Hello Deva, 

    the problem is constantly reproducible with PostgresODBC. Are there any news on this issue? 

    best regards,
