I thought I found a solution to my question but after speaking with the driver developer, I discovered it wasn't.

I need to connect or retreive data from and IBM AS/400 system. Does anyone know of the ODBC drivers that I can use, both on Mac and PC?

My only option is to have our IT department do a dump of specific data every month to a delimed file which I then import into another FM database where the date i need to look up will live. Obviously I do not wish to do this.

Any thoughts would be moust appreciated.
