is it easy to be able to make a webpage up which views the data in a progress database?
 
yes, no, maybe, sometimes...all depends

1. What data do you want to see (dynamic queries vs predefined queries/reports)
2. What platform you are on
3. what progress products you have
4. what html server you have
5. what access you have
6.......etc
 
Just slap an ASP page on a Windows server running IIS 4 or higher. Creat an ODBC connection from that server to your database Unix or Otherwise. Write the ASP webpage using an ADO recordset and the ODBC system DSN you just created and your off. Obviously it's not that simply, but that's the general idea.
 
Hello (Sorry for my English grammar, I'm from Mexico):

I've Installed OpenLink Driver to connect ODBC way to Progress and it works.
Now I need to connect to Progress throught this Driver to ASP Application, but it doesn´t works. I did this:

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "prueba"
("prueba" is the DSN's name that I have created)

and this the error Message:
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

Unspecified error "

How must be the String Connection?
Thanks a lot.
