One potential flaw in the solution is Visual Age for RPG's ability to talk
the PC databases involved. There was talk of an ODBC part for VARPG and I
think it's now possible to use embedded SQL to talk to PC databases, but
haven't tried that.

Another thing for Buck to consider, without buying a full-blown third-party
development tool, is IBM's Project Lightning. It is relatively simple to use
and can read and write to both the AS/400 and to any database to which VB
provides access (which is most, if not all, of them).
