I know it is not a desired solution, but I think the ADO xtra is free and it can connect to databases if need-be.
By the way, I think the stuff I read about database access was somewhere in a MACR whitepaper for MUS 1.0 or 2.0, if that helps at all... What may help the search is a little more detailed description of what exactly you are doing and why an xtra is not an option. It may be that there is an xtra out there that can help out. Is it a shocked project, cd-based, disk-based? Where is the database in relationship to the app?

The other problem is that there's no way to put a webserver in this project. on 6/17/03 2:00 PM, Mathew Ray at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I agree with Troy...I am using php/mysql and it works pretty well.
