Re: VB and the as400

She has to learn about ODBC or OLE/DB. The MSDN library can help with how to do that in VB.

Once she has ODBC down, the rest is basically the same, no matter what the database she is connecting to.

Try going to <http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/info/rzaik/rzaikcaapidb.htm> which is the InfoCenter page for iSeries Access for Windows Database Programming. There's lots to go on from there. Also, there are links to performance-related sites that should be looked at eventually.

Finally, go to <http://www.iseries.ibm.com/access/calib.htm> and look for the "Client Access for Windows 95/NT ODBC User Guide" link - this is old but still has some of the best information on ODBC to the iSeries. There's other info there, as well.

Does anyone know if there is any kind of education for Visual Basic and
the AS400.   I have a VB programmer who has been starting to write
interfaces with the as400.  She is struggling with the data type matches
and just general processing of a relational database.   She has always
worked with simple access databases.



Any suggestions would be great!
