I am using webDBC v3.0 under Win95 and can publish any data that can be accessed using ODBC. I have tested MS-Access, Oracle, Paradox, MS-Excel, and dBase.

There is also vbNet which will convert Visual Basic Forms into Web Forms using vbScript.

There are also Active-X controls which allow a Web Page access directly to data sources using ODBC. Received on Fri Oct 18 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
