Re: FORMS in flash?

[p.m]

Rob,


You didnt ask me either, but... ;]


Could you please show me where you got your information about ActiveX

Data Objects or any OLE technology is compatible with MacOS?!


OLE and ActiveX is about the most propritary MS BS you can get.


Now, I use ASP a lot, but I wouldnt want to make it the 'standard' tha

is 'ideal for immediate future database access methods'.


Id prefer JDBC over ODBC anyday.


Sorry had to jump in.

 an extremely simple way to avoid writing active server pages.  This

 would also give a great text engine to web, authorware, visual basic, 

toolbook, etc. developers.  I would propose a method that can use OLE DB

 and make use of ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) and Remote Data Services 

(RDS).  These (produced by Microsoft, but the system is supposed to 

be compatible with MacOS) are rapidly gaining wide spread acceptance as

 the ideal and the immediate future database access method.
