<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>Thank
you for the information. However my question is if somebody has tried to access
a newer version of IB using PH 8.x in any platform. In our case we are running
in AIX, and the latest version that PH supports native access to IB 4.0 is
8.23D7. Also to my seems very interesting if Cognos enables the ODBC access to
any DB.</span></font> <br>
