Data-access in ActiveX controls

[StevenK]

I'm developing a small application that accesses data in SQL Server 7.0 tables. I've constructed this using a NoteBook component placing components on each of the pages to replicate the effect of having multiple forms.
The constructed ActiveX component then is viewed in an HTML page in Internet Explorer.
It seems I now have a problem whereby if the user clicks the 'Refresh' button that the ActiveX component resets itself and starts over.
Is there any way to disable the 'Refresh' button (and maybe others) as part of the ActiveX component or through the HTML code it sits in ?
Alternatively should I avoid the principal of accessing data (reading and writing) as part of an ActiveX control in a browser?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Steve

Hi mate,
I may not be an expert but actually it's not a crime to access databases through activx components in web browsers (as far as it is meant to work on an intranet basis). In fact refreshing is quite buggy and since the activx 'belongs' to the page, I don't believe there is much you can do about it ... maybe catch the refresh event and try some trick there otherwise why don't you use server pages? You've got a plethora of them! (ASP,PHP,JSP and Delphi can even handle web server application); I hope you fond some lights in my views,
take care and let there be rock,
