Re: DAP and webhosting company.



The main way of accessing a web site is by using HTML. Reports using HTML
are not necessarily as pretty as the ones in Access (unless you know a lot
about HTML) but if you need more, for example because you have clients who
are picky, then maybe you should use something else than a public web
hosting company.

Thats what i figured.... wow that sucks... Is there any other options
that will provide like results as access? I need to be able to access
the db and edit or create new or del items.... I figure I could do this
with mysql and php or mssql and php.. but the only thing thats stopping
me is reporting tools... I want to be able to create reports like the
ones in Access.

No, it's probably impossible to setup a DAP on an external web hosting
company. The RDS provided used with the UseRemoteProvider is deprecated
for
security concerns. Another possibility would be to use SQL-Server as the
backend but here again, most web hosting companies won't give you a
direct
access to their SQL-Server for security reasons.

If you want more info on the setup of the Remote Provider:

Hey guys.. I have several daps that work on my machine.. once i post
the db and the daps to the web though it won't work. So I enabled
UseRemoteProvider to true, and tried changing the source (through
notepad) and it now gives me internet server error : object/module not
found.

Is it not possible to host Daps on external web hosting companies? All
the white papers I've read point to creating the dap on the web server
with IIS... but I don't have my own personal server and will have to
make due with my webhosting company.
