Hi all,
is there a way to get the client to query an access database on the internet through client side programming without server side code.

I have a client who wants an access database placed on a free server with no server scripting allowed and be able to query it.

Regards

Mark

Mark,

It might be possible to instantiate some sort of client-side object in JavaScript to access the Access database, but that may well be limited to IE only.

I don't have any examples, but if I can find any, I'll post them for you.

Mark,

This might give you a start... It's an article about client-side data binding, available in IE 4+:

I have checked that link out but it I just get a list of linkds and when I choose one it seems that its mainly about ASP and I cannot use that.

You need to view the page in IE - I too get a list of links if I view in, say, Opera...

That's Microsoft for you ;o)

Mark,

Not sure why the MSDN pages aren't working for you. There's too much information to copy and paste, but here are some more pointers for you:

- Use Google to search for information on "Microsoft Remote Data Service (RDS)"

- Use Google to search for "BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E33" (the class ID for RDS)
