Re: IFS Question

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Word documents themselves can live on any kind of server, so that 
includes the IFS. But they need to be "visible" to the PC where 
Access (and Word) is running, using, say, a mapped network drive.

And viewing requires Word, but your users can still find the 
documents on a network drive that maps to something in the IFS. 
Having said that, the IFS is not the fastest thing in the world for 
serving files to Windows boxes, sorry to say.

FYI - we have a product that can take the results of an SQL SELECT on 
the iSeries and send it to a PC and do mail merge, etc. It's called 
Office Integrator and was first positioned to take the role of mail 
merge that OfficeVision had. If interested, call us at 888.RJS.SOFT
