Re: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400

The Client Access Express Toolkit provides wizards that will generate
example code for you. If you have express installed correctly, there will be
a new menu option within the VB IDE called "Express Toolkit". Open the menu
& select "Link Tables". This wizard will generate the code necessary to
connect to a PF or LF.

This redbook
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/sg245183.html?
Open will also provide you with numerous examples of using the toolkit.

Lastly, you can't use ADO Data Controls with the current (supported) version
of Express - you need to download the latest beta software from:

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/clientaccess/beta/express.htm

The beta (finally!) updates the OLEDB level to 2.5, and the data controls
are all functional.
