Sorry, I've been busy lately and have fallen behind here.  ODBC is the way to
go in most cases when dealing with an AS/400.  It works very well with VdB, in
fact.  We've got several "mission-critical" VdB apps running now that rely on
the VdB->AS/400 link.

I've had better luck and better performance with NetSoft's ODBC drivers, but
the "free" ones that come with Client Access/400 work, too.  I think Charity
S. is using those.

If you have specific quiestions on the topic, I'll do my best to help.
