<P>but I simply meant that Sybase SQL server may be accessable on the AIX box as it is/was on the HPUX box. </P>
<P>That said, it does show how an incidental&nbsp;comment can lead to something more promissing, especially if&nbsp;you can hook an expert into the conversation&nbsp;:-)<BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;I believe Joe Boyle is right about accessing MS SQL Server with the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Sybase 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;client and EnterpriseConnect Data Access from SyBase. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;You may want to talk to SyBase about it. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I think making more data sources available to PowerHouse is a way to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;increase Powerhouse usage. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;UNIXODBC from Easysoft would be a natural extension. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Cognos already has ODBC&nbsp;&nbsp;code in their NT version. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;So they need only port it to their UNIX platforms. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I wiould also port PowerHouse, Axiant Thin client and PowerHouse web 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;LINUX. Some people are running a SCO version of PowerHouse on Linux. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;So I don't think Cognos would have a hard time making the port.
