Re: RE: Visual Basic and AS/400

["David Bulog" <d2ba@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for tip re-OLEDB level to 2.5.
I downloaded the new CA Express beta( its for V4R4 or higher.)
Does anyone know if I can use any component out of Express Beta
that will work with my  Model 500 (V3R7)?
Im only interested in testing the ADO connection.

Dave
