RE: access as/400 database files w/Visual Basic 6

Cindi,

1) Why don't they want a web app? Just curious.

2) ODBC only drags a system into the ground if there aren't indexes
available to support the queries. What were you trying to access, and how
big are the files.

I have a co-worker who is working on this currently. He has developed a
database on the 400 (company policy), but the users prefer a windows based
front end. They do not want web based. This is entirely in-house and only
2-3 users. He will be using sockets to communicate between the VB app and
the 400.

We started out with ODBC and web based programming and it used to drag our
system to its knees. (a 510) We changed to sockets and they run in batch and
really do not impact our system at all.  I used the Sorcerers Guide as a
template. I am reading Scott Klemmets book now on improving our sockets.
