Winston writes "O.K. Here's my problem

I have a web page that does huge calls(Distinct) against MVS/DB2 databases

These can take up to 3 minutes to return. This is obviously not acceptable.

The data itself doesn't change more that once a day but currently the application is set-up that every user has to perform these calls every time they logon.

(I know it's stupid, but i got stuck with having to re-write this mess)

I do have access to a SQL7 Server. Is it possable to set-up a Scheduled task that would have SQL7 talk to my MVS/DB2 and pull the recordset back to SQL7?

This way i would only need to read the results from the SQL7 DB

So, My question is, Is there any problem retrieving data from DB2 thru SQL7? Do i need to set-up a DSN on SQL7 for the DB2?
etc...

any help or ideas will be appreceiated

Thanks

winston mac mahon"
