An iSeries 5 is what used to be called an AS/400. It's a midrange computer that IBM sells. Basically, it's a giant SQL server.

You need to install the ODBC client an you will be able to use that ODBC connection like any other SQL server.
If you have access to the system, you can map a drive to the iseries to install the IBM Client Access application...you will have the opportunity to do a custom and you can choose ONLY the ODBC client.
Map the drive to:
\\iSeriesIP_Address
\QIBM
\ProdData
\CA400
\Express
\Install-Image
Run SETUP.exe
Since yahoo likes to cut off text for some reason, put the above into a single line....

I'm not familar with and DB called iSeries 5, can you be more specific as to what Db you're talking about?
I can tell you that if you can make a connection to that DB via ODBC, or preferably find a OLE DB provider for it, you could pull the info into a dataset and then manipulate your dataset since its generic anyway.
I supplied a link to common connection strings for most DB's available. Maybe one of these will help.
