RE: access as/400 database files w/Visual Basic 6

Joe...    How many different web servers do you or your clients have? Only
one each?

     Check around... it a good chance that IIS is loaded on one of the
Win/2k PCs. It is delivered on the Windows installation CD and rather easy
to get up and running. ASP is also very easy to install as well.

     If you are not willing to accept IIS as a useful tool, so be it. I'm
betting that you are not alone with your decision regarding IIS but,
thousands of IIS machines continue to exist so you must be in a minority.

     Imagine if each of the IIS machines simply created web pages and
contained absolutely NO database or application. Instead the data and
business rules came from an iSeries system. Think of the number of iSeries
systems installed for such a solution.

     If you choose to use a Microsoft product, you don't have to use all of
them.

Unfortunately, I and many of my clients will not install or run IIS.  If
IIS
is required for ASP to be really useful, then ASP is not an option.  That's
too bad, because some of it seems to be pretty nice.
