Re: iSeries Acces File Transfer

Vernon,

I think you could be right. If you don't have the CA license this must be extra 
cost. In the sites I've worked we have always had CA, so (for me) this is 
included.

A good point for MS Query is that it could be easier for non-tech personnel to 
use (no need to know SQL in order to select some specific data (e.g. WHERE)).

Regards,

Luis Rodriguez

I think so, Luis. From the Access packaging page, the line about 
iSeries Access for Windows:

Must have 5722-XW1 to use PC5250 and Data Transfer

and in the line about 5722-XW1

User Based or Processor Based Purchase

So if you have the emulator you also have Data Transfer.

Vernon,

Are you sure about this? I have always thought that the ability to 
download files from the iSeries to an EXCEL spreadsheet was free of 
charge. It just came with the Client Access CD, along the ODBC client.

He was asking about the iSeries Access download addin for Excel,
which is an extra cost option - your solution is the Microsoft MS
Query, which is usually not installed as a part of MS Office but can
be. Nice thing about MS Query is, it does not cost extra.
