     Unfortunately, we don't have Query/400, and I can't find any usable 
     query objects that I can extract a form from. Has MC ever done an 
     article about qmquery that I could look at?

All I've ever seen is the delightful "OS/400 DB2 for OS/400 Query Management
Programming" referred to above as "TFM."  The section on QMFORMs is, even
for IBM, unusually obscure.  What you might try is creating a QMFORM from a
Query400 query using RTVQMFORM and using it as a template.  If you're like
me, you won't be pleased.  There's all sorts of arcane arbitrary stuff to
learn if you have the time and the inclination.  

If you haven't done it yet, you can convert Query400 queries to QMQRY source
too using RTVQMQRY.  I've used this a lot since we don't have the full SQL
package.  It's the easiest way to pass parameters to a query in my
environment.
