The data to retrieve is Company_name The simple code I used is:
TEST [SQL dsn=Sales_Data&statement=SELECT * from Liste] Found [NumFound] items
[FoundItems] [Company_name]
[/FoundItems] [/SQL] When I access to this page, webstar quits!I understand your business is not to solve all the ODBC questions. I think a protocol based on Office 98 and FileMaker Pro 5 would be very helpful for all of us.There are cases where loading the DB in memory is not desirable (Data too huge). I don't want to use another solution than Webcat in these cases. I just need to acess these datas in a sql db. If I can do it for FileMaker, I know I'll do it for any SQL DB. It will be just a question of how to parameter the ODBC driver.Thanks Helene------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
