Re: Visual Basic form -->AS/400 Pgm.

Hi Juan,

If you have Client Access Express installed on the PC, you can add "IBM
Client Access Express ActiveX Object Library" (c:\Program Files\IBM\Client
Access\Shared\cwbx.dll).  This will give you a Remote Command button you can
place on a form.  One of the properties of the button is the AS400 system to
which you're connecting; another is the command string to be run on that
system, e.g. "CALL PGMA PARM(x y z)".  Any results you want to pass from the
RPGLE to the VB program should be in the form of messages to the job log.

As I recall, the help was not too bad, but if you'd like an example, I can
send you one offline.
