Subject:        Automating data from AS/400 to Microsoft Access.

Weekly, a user have to print a report from AS/400 to get the information 
that she needs then manually find and type it into an Excel spreadsheet 
along with some other informations.  I want to incorporate the datas she 
needs automatically by linking or exporting from AS/400 to Microsoft 
Access.

At first, I try to create a physical file out of the report's spool file 
then export to excel, then extract it in Access.  But there are so many 
data problems arises.

So, I decided to trace the report's source files and do some linking 
from there, I used the command DSPPGMREF to do it.  It gaves me a report 
listing several program files and input files.  I look some of the input 
files, some are report headers, some informations.  I don't know how to 
piece together these files.

Any suggestions or advise.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vuong.
