RE: Access iSeries from windows and odbc question

["Reinardy, James" <jreinardy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At least with V5R3 iSeries Access, I have been able to do this just as
Chris describes for web servers and other machines that strictly need
database access.  I wind up with ODBC, .NET, Ops Navigator and the other
miscellaneous icons for the welcome center, selective setup, etc.  No
licensed programs and definitely not 5250 emulation.  I would give it
another shot.

I will try that.  I thought I had tried that before and it installed
5250 as a "required program".
