RE: iSeries as an ODBC client

["Pete Helgren" <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know about Foxpro, but we have a substitute dispatch system that
runs on a PC and is connected to the AS/400 database using ODBC.  It has
been running fine this way for 6-7 years.

In Access you can link to AS/400 data files using the link table manager so
the tables in Access look like they are "local" to Access.  I don't know if
Foxpro has such a thing though.
