Looking around the net, it appears that it might be possible to access a local database via ODBC using an ActiveX object in the IE browser. This would pretty much cement your TW to a particular platform, browser, and machine. In which case, why use TW?
It might be better to simply dump your table to a file format that TW can read whenever you want to import data. Or create your application entirely inside of TW. With TW and a little scripting you can make forms, collect data, format data, and create pseudo relational databases. The main thing a database would offer is scalability, only important if you have thousands of entries. -- Mark On Oct 29, 6:33 pm, roger <[email protected]> wrote: > Based on a brief review of previous posts I got the impression that > using TW as a tool to query an ODBC database wasn't really very > feasible.
