I really like ASP and how easy it is to make a web page with server side script processing. It is very much like VFP. I never had the thrill of working with VB but I guess that is what it is like. ASP will do all the things I want to do except:
There is no val() function? crazy. There is no way to get the value of a string of digits? who designed this compiler? Anyway, does anyone know how to do this? A separate, related question, It is easy to read and write to a VFP DBF table with or without a DBC. I am using a DBC and DBF's that I build with VFP9 SP2 and then read with an ASP web page. It works very fast and great except for another limitation: vfpoledb will only access character fields? Is that correct? Does anyone know if there is a way to read/write numeric fields? It is fun working with VFP and server side compiling web pages because of the ease of working with IIS. It is (my opinion) much easier than VFP/SOAP, etc. You can pick up ASP in a week and be creating elaborate web pages. Please don't recommend ASP.NET. I know it has all kinds of great functions missing (for some reason) from vb and classic asp, but I don't care to work with .net. My plan is to eventually move to python someday, maybe. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/a9fcce12dd8a484bbe2d507b5e257...@w2k3s02 ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
