Q:

Client Access provides an ODBC driver that VS.Net can use through ADO

Here is an article that discusses creating the connection string: http://www.betav.com/Files/Content/Articles/ConnectionStringt3.pdf

The driver will be: Driver={iSeries Access ODBC Driver}
-or- {Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)}

Here are some good resources from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171886(VS.80).aspx

From IBM: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/windows/dotnet/index.html

Good luck.
