As400 system

[bigspank]

I am writing a multiuser application with visual foxpro 6, is there anything special I will ned to program for in order to run the multiuser database on the IBM as 400 server?

Well, I'd assume you have an ODBC driver (or whatever it takes to interface) for whatever database will be running on the AS 400. If you've got that, I'd assume the programming would be no different than programming for any other remote database. -- Dave Dardinger

There is an AS/400 ODBC driver included with all versions of IBM Client Access.
You will also need to make sure there is a RDB directory entry on the AS/400, use the WRKRDBDIRE command to check. If you need to create one then I suggest the following parameters:
ADDRDBDIRE RDB('<system name>') RMTLOCNAME(*LOCAL).

If you wish to use the VFP database on the built-in Netfinity server then it will be exactly as running on any PC server.

Hope this helps.
