Importance: Normal I have used VFP to connect and query several tables from an AS400 for a client. They use the Client Access software from IBM which includes an ODBC driver. With the assistance of their local 400 guru, I was able to configure my workstation within an hour. Their are alot of settings that need to be done (e.g. libs, hosts,) but once established, it has been solid for the last year. I am actually going there on Tuesday and will write down some of the setting we used. More Later... Mike I have a client that imports AS400 data into Paradox tables for local PC applications. I have written some small reporting apps in vfp5 to query their store of Paradox tables. I would like to extend the scope of these apps and do away with their file importing by pulling data directly from the 400. My knowledge of AS400 connectivity is limited and I'm looking for some clear info/steps on getting AS400 access via FoxPro. Any info on AS400 ODBC drivers that Fox supports would be helpful, as well as any tools that are available (i.e. Rhumba's AS400 SDk) So far I am finding lots of support/tools/training for AS400 access via VB, but little to nothing for FoxPro. I may not have the time to make the jump to VB in time to deliver according to the client's delivery request, so I'd like to stick with VFP for now if possible. Thanks in advance...
