No, I'm just wondering where to get that db2 client. Any tips for that? I don't even know is there any free db2 clients that I can use?

I downloaded DB2 client but still how problems. Now I got ODBC driver for DB2 but still can't get connected to database located in dfferent server. I configured ODBC driver for DB2 database in Administaror tools but when I test the connection I get error message "SQL1027N The node directory cannot be found". Any tips to correct this error?

Now I get connected to database! I had to set up the server name when I setup ODBC. First time I didn't do that and it was impossible to add later. I removed ODCB and set up it again, and now everything works fine. Thank you!

I have Windows Xp operation system and I can't find no OBBC connections. I'm trying to set up connection using Actuate Report Designer Pro to get connection to DB2 databace which is located in other computer (Win2000 Server) but I can't get connection to this database.
