Frank, Get a "in 21 days" book for VB that includes database access (probably something called ADO or Active Data Objects.) Learn this with Access or MSDE as the backend database. Once you understand data access from VB to a database you can change the ODBC driver for Access for the one for the iSeries and you'll have a good start. As for Joe's comments on cross-file relationships. I would look strongly at using "stored procedures" to do the updates. These SPs can be RPG (or Cobol) programs on the iSeries. Of course, if you're willing to understand the cross-file relationships then you can issue updates from VB as well. But, first things first, learn VB data access against a local database, then worry about the iSeries, it's not really any different. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.

I am a beginner at VB6. I'm just going to write simple VB6 applications to update/delete/write records to an AS/400 database file. Does anyone have any kind of pdf documents or websites that would point me in the right direction? TIA, Frank W.
