I am writing a VB 6.0 application to generate bar coded labels. The data that I need is located in files on an AS/400. I have a M/S Access 97 database that has the files I need in it, the tables were built by linking via ODBC to the AS/400 files. The user enters search criteria that is separated into 4 fields which are the keys to the AS/400 files. Has anyone done this, and would you be willing to share an example of code where you have seen this work. I have only been successful at this using one field in my search criteria. Your help would be extremely helpful and appreciated. Thanks. wfw
