You can use MS Access...".

The 65,534 is a register limit, "FFFF" is 65,536.  Don't they teach
hexidecimal anymore?  (I'm showing my age!)

I don't know if Access has the same limitations.  We don't use it, we use
the iSeries as our database management system.  However, a Microsoft
partner also sells a package called FRx that has been in the MPower Expo
for a couple years, that may also be an alternative, depending on what
information they need - it sounds like an accounting issue in the initial
e-mail.  They may NOT need to pull all of IMHIST in (that would be
horrendous for us, we have almost 3 million records written to IMHIST every
year).  There's more information is available at www.frxsoftware.com.  We
will be looking at this package ourselves later.
