OK, I got the iSeries data in Excel using a view.

Now I want to modify some fields and write them back to the iSeries.

(yes, this situation is acceptable)

How can this be accomplished?

My ODBC connection is r/w.

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
