RE: ODBC Call Failed.

Adam,

Check to see when your ODBC driver is converting EBCDIC (iSeries database)
to ASCII (VB comprehensible).  Some ODBC drivers to this when first opening
a file.  If the file is large, the initial connection can take a very long
time.

Hello,

We have a VB app connecting to our as400 all throughout the day.  Our
problem seems to be that whenever the CPU utilization gets high on the
as400, all of the connections start to fail.  As soon as the as400 settles
down, everyone can connect again.  The biggest part of the problem is that
this "settling down" process can take up the 15 minutes, keeping our users
out of commission.

Has anybody had this problem or know how to tune the system to better
handle this issue???
