Hi,
What software do I need to make the files in AS400 to tables in
Microsoft Access? My hope is to query information from Access,
instead of running queries in AS/400 then exporting the data manuall,
then importing the data to Excel. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

The iSeries software package for your PC contains an ODBC-driver which
Access should be able to use to do a remote connection.
I believe that currently it is called "IBM iSeries Access for
Windows".

And if you have that software already installed, then you can select
whatever columns and rows directly from Excel [under Data tab, Trsnsfer
from iSeries to generate a .dtf] without first copying into tables in
Access; i.e. no reason to add yet another query/copy when the intent was
to eliminate that type of activity in the first place.

I feel Surveyor400 software by Linoma will be useful for you.
