we do a lot of this. the simple/obvious approach we use is 1) to make all your server side/ db access functions accept/return things into tcl lists or serialized arrays. 2) make simple url handlers that are wrappers for the above functions your tcl tk programs can then use the std. ::http package to get /put data to/from aolserver as tcl lists or serialized arrays your adp pages can call the same procs without the url handler wrappers and process it into whatever html it desires now you could formalize all this to a large degree using something like soap but it's probably not worth it unless you need a formal API for programmers outside your immediate circle of development. i have found it pretty easy to just informally sling around tcl lists. if there was a ready-for-primetime soap package out there. i would consider using it though. as far as i know there is not one quite at that point yet. there is an nssoap project on source forge but it's not ready for immediate use last time i looked. you can poke around at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nssoap/ -- Mike Hoegeman Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 805-279-7306
