Is there a way then to hit an AS/400 database without opening he files for each client? Can a DB server job open the files and then have the clients just get the data via the server? Does this require a separate db server or can this function be on the AS/400?

Lightning lets you do DB2/400 record level access easily from languages such as VB and Delphi, talking from Windows to the AS/400 through the OS/400 optimized servers. Using the record-level access capabilities of Lightning doesn't change much from an application standpoint, and files get opened per client. However, Lightning can also do Windows-to-OS/400 program calls. You may be able to achieve some of what you want with this aspect of Lightning. There is a great Lightning redbook (Craig Pelkie wrote most of the good parts).
