Re: Client - Server

Raul:

I think you could develop iSeries (server-side) stored procedures to access or update only those selected files, and change your VB front-end to CALL the stored procedure via ODBC.
The stored procedure *PGM can adopt owner authority so it has access to those files. Give the program *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE and grant authority to *USE the program only to those users who are authorized to run this VB front-end client/server application to update those files. These stored procedures could also be designed to take care of any commitment control issues (somehow know when to issue a COMMIT).

That way, users cannot access or update those files directly through ODBC (e.g. via Excel).
