[SOLVED] Just wanted to let you all know I resolved all my problems. AUTH_USER holds a value once I go into IIS/Default Website and go tot he properties of my application folder. Deselect the Anonymous Access and check Intergrated Windows Authentication. For my connection issue I needed version 2000.2.8.0 of the ntwdblib.dll file. The newer version causes issues and will not allow you to connect to an informix database. Thanks to everyone that helped. Dan
