Add IBM Client Access Reference

[JesseH]

I am new to VBDot Net, I apologize for the level of the question. I am trying to gain access to databases on our AS400. How do I get access to the data on our AS400. If you would please provide detail instructions, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I haven't done any COBOL before but here's a link a CodeProject site that does what your asking......

Thanks for the Response

Dear vis781, thanks for the response. When using MSAccess, you declare an ODBC connection, when you do, you can see all the tables on the AS400 in MSAccess. I believe that there is a similar technique on VBDotNet, but I do not know how to do it.

Like i say i havent done this before but, there is a support for ODBC in vb.net. I guess you would just use it more or less that same way as OLEDB just a different kind of connection string and you would use the ODBC classes instead.
