I, too, am interested in using a graphical front end (i.e. Excel, Access, New Era program, other third-party app) to Informix for ad hoc reporting, etc.

We're runninf SE and are looking at buying informix net, ODBC drivers for informix and running Access on a PC. What other good options are out there? What about the Mac: are there tools for it? Ease of use and flexibility are important.

I would like to know what works. Replys welcome either in this newsgroup or via e-mail (bob-woodward_at_uiowa.edu). Thanks.
