It assumes you know how to generate local files from your web page
and to run a command from the web page and have a web site setup.
In short, you have the web page run a dataperfect command line that
includes a reference to a transaction which tells it which reports to
run and parameters to pass. You may have to experiment with the
transaction log to get the parameters you want. Depending on what
you want to do,you may have the web page create that transaction log,
then run the report, then display the results or email with another
command or whatever you want to do You can control access by
security on the web page as well as in the commandline to DP or both.
Be aware that if you are accepting user input on the web page that
gets passed to dataperfect, that input can used to create havoc with
your database. Ideally you wouldn't need the user input. If you do,
be sure to check it for validity as a basic security precaution.
you can call, for example -
DP.EXE database.str /W /EI=translog.log
Since the transaction logs call reports by number, I suggest putting
all the ones you want at the beginning so the ordering doesn't change.

I would like to allow my clients web access to run a dataperfect
report. I need to limit access by requiring a user and password to
run a report or a limited menu of reports. I email or fax the report
with ActFax. But I don't have a clue how to access my database from
a web page.
