Tim,

What's imcomplete about it? When you say the VB app "deletes" the table on
the as/400 do you mean that it clears out _all_ the old data and completely
refreshes it? If so, why? Why not just upload the new rows in the log. It's
been a *LONG time since I played with the WinFax log, but can't you just
start from where you left off last time? 

If it takes multiple updates to make a iSeries log record "complete"
couldn't you do those updates under commitment control so the web user can't
see anything until it's all there?

Subject: ODBC/Table Locking ideas?


I was wondering if anybody had an idea, that will work better than mine?

Problem:
I have a PC faxserver (winfax), that I would like to have all the
information (sender, to, durration errors) sent back to the as/400 so i can
present a web page, to the end users, on what happened to their fax.

What I have done:
I have written a VB program, that reads the winfax log, and then via odbc
/deletes a winfax table on the as/400, and then populates it with the new
fax logs, and this program that runs every 6 minutes..
And then a web page, shows the fax results, and will let them see their fax
image, and the results of the fax, and will let them re-send if there were
any errors..

But here is the problem...  If the user views the web page, while the VB
program is update the as/400 table, the web page is incomplete..  whats the
best way, to handle the data during this update process.

Any ideas..

Thanks, tim
