Connect to IBM i (AS/400)

[Vadim]

I have a lot of Excel files with VB macro that connect to IBM i.
I connect to IBM i with this string
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Function open_con()
cnMYAS400.Open "provider=IBMDA400;data source=192.001.01.99;User Id=myuid;Password=mypwd;"
Set cmMYSQLCMD.ActiveConnection = cnMYAS400
End Function
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They are stop to run on Windows 10.
The error is '3706 - provider cannot be Found. I may not be properly installed.'

Is it possible to connect to IBM i?
How to do it?
Thank you

Hi,

1) I assume that you have a reference set to the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) object library. Maybe not. If not Tools > References... Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects m.n Library

2) I assume that you need to supply a user I'd and password in your connection string, myuid and mypwd, so...

X = "...;User ID=" & myuid & ";Password=" & mypwd & ";"

Skip,

I supplied id and password, also marked all data library on reference tab.
The problem is IBM do not support connection like they do before.
I asked is it any way to go around it with IBM CA Solution?
Thanks

Do you have any client interface to AS400 database (as 5250 emulation)? Can you create ODBC connection to your database? You can try to find missing files at

Having IBM Client Access installed on my PC, this works to connect to iSeries:

'## Enter Login-Data
csebk="IBPTEST"
userid="LC0D200"
pwd="test"

'## using ADO
' Connection String
connection_string =  "PROVIDER=IBMDA400;DATA SOURCE=" & csebk & _
                     "; USER ID=" & userid & "; PASSWORD=" & pwd

' Open ADO connection 
set connection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connection.Open(connection_string) 

...
...
...

' Close Connection
connection.Close
