Linked Server to Informix

I have set up linked servers before but not with INFORMIX. I was wondering what criteria goes into the product name and data source fields in the new linked server window when connecting to an INFORMIX server. I have SQL Server 2005 installed on my machine and have also installed the informix drivers on my machine. Has anyone had to do this before? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

Not sure if you got an answer, but....

The provider name does not seem to matter, but I put the name of the Informix OLEDB driver, ifxoledbc

The data source is database@.InformixServer.

Hope that helps.
