Re: Selecting Specific Member in MSQuery

John--

>   I currently use Excel (with MS Query) to retrieve data from the /400 to
create performance graphs.  I currently have a routine that copies the data
out to a work library so that I only have one member per performance data
file.  Is there a better way?  Is there a way so select a member within the
SQL that MS Query generates?

You're outta luck here. ODBC drive SQL syntax doesn't support members.
Unless you're writing to the API set, you also can't do an override because
the override must be done within the same job as the SQL calls. Logical
files are pretty much your best alternative.

The only ODBC driver I've seen that supported members was ShowCase's ODBC
driver and they have long since pulled it from shrinkwrapped distribution
(dumb, huh?).
