SQL Select perhaps ?

Open File via ODBC with SQL SELECT, read records and populate cells.

All can be done with VBScript.

There are tons of examples on the web.

Then I imagine you need to run an update query back against the iSeries to update the fields for each record.

subject: update iSeries data with Excel

I have a need to update three fields in a file of 150 fields with Excel.

I can open the file with Excel (via an ODBC data source) but I get all
the fields.

How can I just open the file with the three fields that need updating?

1. Create an LF with just the three fields?
2. Create some kind of qry inside of excel that selects just the fields
I want?

TIA,

Jerry
