Before you can use the Visual Basic program to modify your records on the AS/400, you must create an ODBC connection to get at your AS/400. These steps walk you through how to do this.

Perform the following steps to configure:

1. Click the Start button.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Click ODBC Data Sources.
5. Click the System DSN tab. 
6. On the right-hand side, click the ADD button.
7. Highlight Client Access ODBC Driver and double-click to select.
8. On the Client Access Express ODBC Setup Window, under the General tab, type:
Data Source Name - CustSrv400
Description - AS400 Customer Service Database
AS/400 System - click on the AS400 you wish to be connected to
9. On the Server Tab - Default Library - <library where you have placed the CSTSRVFL on the AS400>
10.The rest of the tabs can be left with their defaults in place.
