While I agree with Axton that the Java based ARDBC plugin is the "best" approach. However, given the v7.0 restriction on the question...
I think a DVF with Active links to pass date in/out of the "Data Visualization Field" DVF might also work as a reasonable option for a client side integration? ( I do note that the poster did not mention a v7.x Mid-Tier, and that would be required for this to be an option. ) However, that version of Java 1.3.1 is really old. I am not sure that will work. You may need to move forward to 1.4. (or maybe even 1.5). HTH. Oh.. and Axton said the _java_ ARDBC plugin was not supported on 7.0.x. There is a C based ARDBC plugin that you could implement. (If you write C.) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
