Hi Dave, Maybe your situation is not clear to me. It seems that you could just provide a link on a Web page that referenced a program on your AS/400. For example, the following link runs a "Boat Report" program on my server: http://www.relational-data.com/products/rweb/cgi/boatw/report.isp As far as security is concerned, do you think that: browser <==> IIS <==> OS/400 would be more secure than: browser <==> firewall <==> OS/400 That's a question.
