Brian LaPlante asked if I'm "concerned that going 100% web will leave at the
mercy of offering less client side functionality". Hit the nail on the head.
I am used to having a lot of control of my MS Access forms and GU interface.
I checked out your examples. Very cool. How was that accomplished and how
difficult was it?
There are definitely cases though where I will absolutely need local apps.
For one particular project I mainly need to download form info and get into
the local app as simply as possible. I'm condiering some system whereby I
could, at the push of a button on a web page or perhaps on a schedule
download the most recent records. I would probably grab the whole days worth
of adds and filter out the duplication at the desktop level. I'm considering
something like ...
*at the click of a button delete the contents of a table dedicated to
containing extract data
* insert all the records created that day
* figure out some way of emailing that table as an attachment in an email
or possibly including it in the body formatted as delimitted ascii.
*I still need to figure out how to then automatically retrieve the email on a
regular basis and get the data into access.
Thanks for the advice so far
