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. Bryan "Keith G. Chuvala (TeamB)" <kgc@DELETE_THIS.hit.net> wrote: > ODBC is the way to >go in most cases when dealing with an AS/400.
