RE: MS Access Database

If you're open to commercial options, we have a couple:

RPG2SQL - Allows RPG programs to read/write Access, SQL Server and other databases. You can be up and running with this in about an hour or less.

Automate - Windows process automation tool (like CL for Windows) that you can use to read IBMi data and then natively read/write Access, Excel and other databases.

Feel free to reach out to chat or you can visit our web site for more info.

subject: MS Access Database

I have a request to create an MS Access Database file from data on the i. I haven't been able to find any articles on how to do this, so I assume it's not possible. But, I thought I would go the extra mile and post a forum question. I know that MS Access can import files and convert them, but that is not what is requested. The Engineer wants a MDB file that can be read by the production machine.

We are currently at 7.2.

TIA,
