And if the user is smart enough to find that option and change it back?

Or just create a new ODBC connection...

Or use a DSN-less connection...

Or use JDBC...

Again, the only way to really prevent this is to control it on the IBM i
side.

In the windows ODBC connection, find the option that says "SELECT"
statements only. This would be a by user basis.

Either
1) Using object security, make sure the users only have *USE authority

the

data.
2) Spend $$$ for a package of exit point programs to lock down what's
allowed.
3) roll-your-own #2

An example of #2

HI We have some users who use ODBC connection in Excel to look at IBS

data

on the IBM i.

Now I am getting more requests for this.

I never liked this. Now I want to ensure that this can be one way

traffic

only (read only). How can I ensure this. Secondly, I noticed that all

users

with green screen get icons of the Windows for IBM ISeries access. In

these

Icons are also links for sending and receiving data with IBM i.

I don't like this either. We have a few users on green although most

not.

Can I remove these icons globally? Or has to be one by one.
