>Yes you can. IBM sells a connectivity kit (I forget the name) that allows for defining DB2/400 as an ODBC compliant database. Once you have the hard connection and set up the ODBC connectivity, then you have your choice of SQL Passthrough or remote views. AccountMate, a popular accounting package, uses the AS/400 as one of it's server database.

Here at Ashley we have been using VFP for a front end to the AS400 since Version 3.0(Remote Views work great). IBM's Client/Server connectivity software to the AS400 is called Client Access. It contains both an ODBC driver and an OLEDB Provider for the AS400. The Client Access web site is at: www.as400.ibm.com/clientaccess/capage.htm
