Hi Edward,

I have put some notes together on my website about the web enabling of an application..
http://brileigh.net/bws/story/

I was hoping to release a commerical application based on it for this year, but I have been snowed under with other work, so I have stilled used the pilot of it again this year... It is working well, and is very reliable. I have served up hundreds of thousands of session on it now...

Regards
Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] Linking DataPerfect data to the Website


Hello all.

I'm seeking advice on how to provide data from a DP database to a website
inquiry prompt.

I'm trying to build a website where users can query an order number and the
result will show the historical and current status of that order.  The
status data is stored in a DataPerfect database on my server. All I need is to have the webpage extract it from DataPerfect. I'm not HTML savvy so I'm
not sure if this is simple to do or not.

Right now, my option is to have DP run a report creating a file for each
order number (using the number as the filename) with its status history and
when queried, the website opens the filename and displays the data.
Unfortunately, this means the data is only as fresh as when the DP report
was most recently run, as well as having to manually run the report
frequently. I'm wondering if there is a more "real-time" method to this and
hopefully automatic or less human involvement to keep the data current.

Thanks for any opinion.

Ed.
