Thanks for the response, I do have specific questions.
There is another thread on AS/400 in the non-technical group where I
got this information:
"Visual dBASE 7 Client/Server has direct native drivers for the
AS/400. No download required, VdB7 programs will run directly against
DB2 on the server."
So I ordered the client server version. will this be faster than using
ODBC?
Pardon my ignorance but does anything special have to set up on the
AS/400 for either method? This application is for another site & I
dont have easy access to the AS/400. They are using client access I
believe.
