CSB007,

"With Microsoft SQL Server and an OLE DB provider or ODBC driver for
Sybase or Informix, Microsoft SQL Server can send and receive database
snapshots in both directions, and send SQL Server transactions to Sybase
or Informix. For more information about implementing Transactional
replication from Sybase to SQL Server, check the Data Interoperability
Alliance Solutions page. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/partners/"

You will likely need a third party replication solution to go from
Informix to SQL Server. However SQL server transactional replication
should work just fine from SQL Server to Informix.
