I'll start right out and admit I am a dreaded newbie. I get PAID to program Accounting Apps for that other OS using Visual Basic. I wrote a database for a local non-profit organization using an Access DB. They would like to put it on the Web. Since the local ISP uses Linux I needed to make it a Linux DB. I found information on Qddb, a Linux Db that did CGI, and bought it. Unfortunately it interfaces with Tcl. At this stage in my life, I have no desire to learn a new language, especially one as obtuse as Tcl. I read a little out of a Tcl primer but it seemed to be written in some obscure Mespotanian dialect. :) Does anyone on this list know of a DB App under Linux that would allow querying and maintaining an Access Db over the Web from Linux? The only other choice is to pay(yech) a Tcl guru to write the necessary script but the n-p doesn't have the money.
Hi, although I havn't done it; I've seen others talk about doing it with the Perl language and the various SQL and database modules available for Perl. If you are interested, why don't you post this question to comp.languages.perl and see if they can point you to someone who has done it. The Perl experts there are awesome. There are free perl scripts out there to do almost anything. I'm sure there is something for ACCESS. zentara -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
