RE: VB and iSeries data

As far as I know, sockets are the fastest connection, which means you'll
need to learn how to write a sockets program on the AS/400 to connect with
the VB program.  Scott Klement has what is reputed to be an excellent
tutorial on this subject at http://klement.dstorm.net/rpg/socktut/ .

If you are not averse to using the Client Access ODBC driver, I have some VB
4.0 modules that retrieve data from the AS/400, among other things.

I want to write a program in VB that communicates with
my iSeries to return data. I do not want to use the CA
router at all, just straight pure IP. Should I be looking at sockets or data
queues?
