Qport Office is a time-saving Windows runtime interface to IBM Query/400. Qport Office enables Windows users to run Query/400 queries from Windows and send their output directly to Excel, Word, Access, PC printers, and their display. No need to output queries to file and then do a file transfer. Qport Office does it all in one step, without ODBC. Excel users can replace and append to existing worksheets and preserve their formatting so they spend less time copying and pasting. No query conversion or revision required. Ninety days of toll-free installation and software support are included.

 

Developer's Take:

"We developed Qport Office because we saw companies spending a lot of time running Query/400 queries to create DB2 files and then using file-transfer tools to convert the output into PC file formats for MS Office users. We felt people would appreciate having a simple Windows runtime interface to Query/400 that could do this in one step. This product is incredibly easy to use."  

—John O'Sullivan, VP of IT, New Generation Software
