[thelist] Synchronising online~offline databases - ideas?

[Michael Galvin]

Hi Doug

This is not really an option.  None of our clients have internal web
servers, and would be using an ISP/dial-up/ftp.  So, even with the Foxpro
link, I would still have to get a copy of the database up onto the server
before it can be used, so I'm stuck with the original problem.

Thanks anyway
Michael

Hi,
Don't know if anyone has answered this yet as I've been a bit enthusiastic
with the delete key today. Why use the access bit at all, set up and ODBC
link to your Foxpro database, and just use that with ADO in your ASP. Foxpro
is a lot faster than Access and you won't haveto synchronise anything, ditch
the Access layer altogether I say! Should be able to just change the ODBC
connection and provided that the table structure is the same, you won't have
to change the code.
Regards
Doug
