Hi,
I am beeing asked a question too technical for me, and maybe some of
you might be interessted and could help me to see the things more
clearly.
I'm building a desktop application with Flash Studio, f8, oop, shared
obj.
One of the clients of my client wants the application to have some
communication with an external access database, this DB would be on a
central server.
I suggested an asp page, but the costs to install and maintain such
asp server seem to be a problem, and consequently the client does not
want to install an asp server.
So I am beeing asked if Flash can communicate with this access
database with an odbc connection.
Does it make some sense to you ?
What are the other ways (without asp) to send and load data to an
access DB ?
Did someone have this issue before ?
Thank you very much in advance,
Celine
Flash does not have any out of the box database capabilities to
connect direct. Everything I have ever seen involves flash remoting, and
a servers side language like php or .net.
A quick google search pretty much confirms this. If licensing costs are
the issue, maybe an internal server with linux/php could help (although
not all IT guys can deal with 'nix - so there could be added cost in setup).
