Matt,
Not being familiar with the overall architecture of your situation, or your familiarity with various platforms, I would take a semi-wild guess and...
Suggest that you look through the introductory docs/tutorials sufficiently to use quiz to dump the data which you require from the C-ISAM files in a raw text format (delimited or fixed width), ftp the file over to a windows area, and then use your VB expertise to handle whatever further formatting is necessary.
That's not to say that PowerHouse is not sufficient to handle the whole process as well or better than VB (it is). That's just a suggestion for getting the best return on your time invesment.

Hello All,
I'm new to Powerhouse and this list. We are running Powerhouse 8.13 on an
SCO Unix box with C-ISAM files for the data. I have a project I've been
asked to complete and I'm trying to decide on the best way to proceed. I'm
hoping that you Powerhouse experts can help with some suggestions. I need to
import data into and export data out of the C-ISAM files to be shared with
another application running on a Windows Server. (Anyone familiar with
E.D.I.?) I consider myself to be a very good VB programmer but a complete
novice with Powerhouse. My question is what do you consider to be the best
way to accomplish this task? My experience leads me to consider a VB
application running on the Windows server using an ODBC connection to push
and pull the data I need.
Has anyone else tried this and if so what ODBC driver did you use?
What kind of import/export options do I have in Powerhouse?
Thanks
Matt Cox
