RE: System i Navigator Errors

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

Thanks to you and Rob for the responses.  I only got C/A 7.1 because we have
a couple of Windows 7 PC's, but I installed it on my PC first to be sure it
would run (my bosses have the Win7 PCs; didn't want them to be disillusioned
since it was hard enough getting them to actually access the system).  I
guess I'll have to uninstall 7.1 on my PC and re-install 5.4 and the fix
pack.  The bosses only use the PC5250 functions; I use the whole gamut of
iNav functions.

I believe that from 6.1 the Navigator is not compatible completely with 
early releases - that is why I keep using the V5R4 iSeries Access for my 
daily work.

Maybe put up a Windows VM with the earlier version - or the most recent 
- of Navigator for different uses.

This link - 
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/connections.html - has 
info on which versions to connect with in the several versions of Access.
