AS/400 - Seeking info on using VB to access DB2/400

Trying to find out the best method for accessing AS/400 data with VB.
Will ODBC work or is a special driver required? Is the connection
fast?

Thanks in advance for any info ...

I have tested the ODBC driver that comes with IBM Client Access/400.
The performance wasn't very good, but I am just about the upgrade the
latest version of Client Access/400 with fixes to the ODBC driver.
The newest version is V3R1M1.
So after that I hope I can start using VB with AS/400 (posibbly other
products too, such as MS Access, Excel etc.).

1. AS/400, anyone used Delphi to access DB2/400

Looking for someone who could advise on how to use Delphi 1.0 to
access data on an AS/400. OS version 3.1 with Clinet Access. Do you
need SQL/Links? Does Delphi 2.0 work different? Is ODBC the only
driver or is there a native driver?

Thanks in advance for any information ....
