RE: client access, excel tool-add in

Go to Tools/Add-in's.  Look through the list to see if you have a choice for
"Transfer Data From an AS/400" in the list.  If it is there and not checked,
select it and it will be added to your toolbar. If it is already checked,
you have the choice someplace on your toolbar already and it should also be
found under the Data choice on the menu bar.  If the choice is not on the
Add-ins list at all, choose Browse and go to (probably) C:\program
files\IBM\Client Access\Shared and it should come up with a choice for
"cwbtfxla.xll".  Choose this and say OK.  This will add the "Transfer Data
>From an AS/400" to your Add-ins menu as well as to your tool bar.  If you
don't have this file, good chance you didn't install the Data Transfer
portion of C/A??

Subject: client access, excel tool-add in

Our pc installer people just upgraded one of my end-users to windows 2000,
and i'm still at win 95 on my machine so I can't test this, but before I
travel out to her site, I was wondering what to expect...

Our as/400 is at 4.5  and the client access disk that I have in my hand is:
AS/400 Client Access
Family for Windows.

Express Client v4r5m0
Windows 95/NT client V3r2m0,
Enhanced Windows 3.1 client v3r1m0

On my win 95 I have an excel add-in in the ibm/client access/shared , that
will give a tool in excel to download data into the excel spread sheet...

But when the user using win 2000 tried looking for this tool, it wasn't
there...  So my question is this... Did the PC people not install enough
componets, or do I need a newer Client Access disk, or is it no longer
supported...  Also she's running office 2000...  And I'm still at excel
97...

Thanks, tim
