Re: PC tool to access 400 data

[bclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Bob Clark)]

Yes, I was freaked out a little at first.  Then I got together with a couple of 
users and
we ran some tests.  Apparently the users cannot link to any files that they are 
not
authorized to.  I feel a little bit better now,  However, I was wondering if 
there is any
way to write an ODBC exit program on the AS/400 to limit who can use ODBC for 
data
access.  Does anybody know?
