Any Fusebox users here? 1

Even tho I am a newbie at ASP, I have "been advised" to try to work within the Fusebox framework for ASP (which adds a new level of complexity to an already complex subject). I have been to their website and have tried to get started with this but have failed -- my question on the Fusebox forum here at tek-tips is:

There appears to be a dearth of printed material on ASP-Fusebox (which means I am even more crippled). I would appreciate any help or advice.

My advice is to learn ASP. First try the ASP tutorial at

http://www.w3schools.com

, and then run through their ADO tutorial so you can learn how to work with ASP and databases.

Once you have the basics of ASP down, maybe Fusebox will make more sense. I'm a seasoned programmer and have been developing web applications for nearly 10 years now, and after 10 minutes at their site, I still don't understand what Fusebox is. I can't imagine how baffling it would be for a newbie.

Genimuse, thank you. If you can't figure it out, I'm not even going to try.

Thanks again,

I remember being a newbie Ortho, Don't let ASP get the best of you and don't make it harder then it really is which i was doing at first.

Then one day it will click and you will be programming applications you never thought of doing now.

Snowboarder -- thanks for the encouragement! I love VB and since ASP is VB-based, I'm enjoying the challenge.

But I do miss "Goto," among other things, when occasionally I need it.

Well goto is a bad way to program its convenient but bad. In ASP you could use a sub instead of goto.. such as:

If MyVar = “something” then
Call MySub1
   Else
Call MySub2
End If


Sub MySub1
‘some code
End Sub

Sub MySub2
‘some code

End Sub
