RE: Remote Command from Access?

David,

ODBC will allow you to pass a CALL command through to the AS/400. It
gets a little more complicated if you need to pass data back and forth,
but that also is doable. Paul Conte wrote a couple of articles in
News/400 last year (I think it was the April or May issue) that give you
what you need to get started with VB/ODBC. I've used the code and it
works fine, although I think Paul tends to make things more complex than
they really need to be. Still, it's a great starting point, with a
working demo and everything.
