That hadn't occurred to me at all.  I was thinking about REXEC but that
requires the PC have REXEC (Windows NT?).  Then there's ftp and RCMD, but
that requires the AS/400 to allow ftp access.  A trigger would fit pretty
well in an ODBC scheme because the user already has ODBC access...  Very
slick!
