RE: Client Access Express, Windows 2000, & AS/400 Folders

Don't know if you saw this one - looks like the typical "IBM giveth and IBM
taketh away"

Sorry for the delay on this one, I was away for a few days.

Yep.  But this one is thanks to IBM and their deciding not to allow "drive
mapping" with C/A Express.  I agree - sigh...

Yes, this works, but...  I used to be able to download MAPICS ptf's from the
Web directly to my AFDWEB folder on the AS/400. So far, I can't do that to
the shortcut on my desktop with the new Client Access Express - it is back
to a two-step operation; save the ptf to Win Desktop, then MOVE it from
Desktop to the As/400 folder.

One step forwards and two steps back - sigh.

We ran into the same problem with Client Access Express on Win 95/98 - you
can't map drives.  How we got around it was that we used Operations
Navigator to access the QDLS directories.  That works fine.  You can even
set up access as a shortcut on your desktop.

We are having a problem accessing AS/400 folders when using Client Access
Express on a Windows 2000 machine.  We are creating Excel spreadsheet output
using Jacana and Info WorkPlace.  These spreadsheets go by default to the
Infowp folder in the QDLS folder on the AS/400.  Therefore, the user needs
to be able to access the AS/400 folders.  With Client Access Express on a
Windows 2000 machine the folders cannot be accessed.

Client Access on a Windows 98/NT machine allows the user to access the
needed folders.  Does anyone know of a solution or a work around.
