RE: Client Access "Signon to AS/400" window

["Phil" <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks very much.  Your post set the light bulp off!  I'm using W2K.  Here's
what I did:

Made sure the Ops Nav properties, Connection Tab, is set to Use Default user
ID, prompt as needed, and that I supplied a VALID as/400 user id.  It
doesn't need to match my W2K user id and it doesn't need to be the one that
I sign on with to the as/400 (because I can change it.)  Once I've signed on
I wont be prompted again (except at the 5250 screen).

Whew.  Thanks.

Phil
