I want to be able to use CA/400 ODBC driver in Visual Basic to connect to 
F8309 FASTR work file with an explicit reference to  IBM file member that 
holds my FASTR report PC download information.  I cannot figure out the 
ODBC connection string portion describing member name in CA/400 ODBC.

I can do this with ShowCase ODBC (SELECT ... FROM LIBRARY.F8309:MEMBER).  I 
also can create a physical file with AS/400 query or FTP and dump it to a 
PC, but it all requires extra steps.

Does anyone have any clue how this could be done directly with CA/400 ODBC 
in VBA?

Any help or comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Vladimir Bystrov
