(Original message at the end) At the risk of being extremely late on this thread, I will reply. Doesn't linking to the As400 file via ODBC bypass all this OLE DB support stuff? >From what I've read on this thread, the issues that have come up sound like issues that might be encountered using Visual Basic to create the connection. Creating a new ODBC connection is not too hard -- I think I've seen some documentation on this list serve before not too long ago -- you can do it through Control Panel or Client Access. Once the DSN (I think that is the term) is created, then in Access do a link to files of type ODBC Databases. Your DSN will be listed; select it; then select your file. If I'm totally missing the boat on this one I'm sorry; but I've done exactly what the original poster was inquiring about using this strategy.
