>I am considering using VFP to create GUI front ends to AS/400 physical files via ODBC. I would like feedback from anyone who has used or tried to use VFP with the AS/400. Are there any gotchas? Would I be better off with VB or Powerbuilder?

I think it depends on where the processing will be. Are you going to script any code on the AS/400 or will it just serve as storage? Honestly, I'd try to take advantage of the AS/400 processing speed and write the front end in VB. But if the client will do the processing, then VFP is the tool.
