iSeries Query Designer

We have an iSeries version on  os 7.1.  I need to know if there is a query designer?  Like the one from SQL server mgmt studio.  I can use the one in iSeries Navigator, but it's cumbersome, I've linked it to my SQL Server 2008 R2, but the query builder dosen't work on it.  I can see the data, just can't build a query.  So right now I use three different ways to get ad hoc queries out of it.  I can build them in the green screens, build them using Navigator, or, since I'm usually in visual studio add a sqlDataSource and build it that way.  There has to be a decent gui Query Designer for the 400.   ??

Wow.  Webquery rocks!  And we already have a license.  Just FYI, the latest version is 2.1  and from what I understand it is vastly better than 1.1.2.  

I did try squirrel, couldn't get it to work.  Tried aquafold and it was very nice.

On additional question if I might.  Have either of you used the IB MobileFaves?  It's a native app for iOS built by the same people who built Web Query, but for the life of me I can't get it to connect and info seems to be lacking.  Anyway, thanks again, if I don't hear anything else I'll award points tomorrow.
I havent used that.  It sounds cool.  Glad to hear that you liked WebQuery.  I really liked it also, and that was at 1.1.1 which was no where near 1.1.2 and apparently 2.1.   Now you have me anxious to try 2.1 :)  

Thanks!
Haven't used IB mobilefaves.
Thank you. :)
