I'm connecting to Informix 6.5 using the IBM OLE DB Driver.

Some clarification: Informix Dynamic Server Workgroup Edition.

Please note that there are many versions of IDS/WE - it helps to be precise about which version you have. It might be something like 10.00.TC1; the version number could be as old as 7.xx.TCx, or as new as 11.50.TCx. If your server is not on Windows but on Unix - or is on 64-bit Windows - the letter 'T' would change to 'U' (32-bit Unix) or 'F' (64-bit - Unix or Windows), or even 'H' (a particular HP-UX configuration).

When I try to create a dataset using the VS DataSet wizard, after clicking on test connection it tells me 'Base Table not found'?

The OLEDB driver is the official one provided by IBM. The problem with the 'Table not found' dialog is that Visual Studio doesn't tell me the table name but only the error!

Has anyone else had this problem?

thx in advance :)

Please remove this non-answer. I've transferred the information into the question for you. You should be able to do that yourself - it is better to edit the question than to add an answer that expands on the question. When you add the version information, you can remove my italicized commentary about version numbers.
