Don't know about forums—you might try <http://www.midrangecomputing.com> or
<http://www.news400.com> . They both have tech forums on a variety of
subjects.

Actuall, it's a pretty simple matter. All you need is an ODBC driver.
Client Access has a very good one. Hit Software does, too, but the CA one
is free after you've paid for one license.

Once you have the driver set up on your PC, you select the connection and
it just works.

The CA for 95/NT ODBC User's guide is an excellent resource. The CA site at
IBM also has a numbe of info APARs about the ODBC driver. Try
<http://www.as400.ibm.com/clientaccess> and look along the lower left for
the Information APARs link.

Good luck
