>I'm building an Internet application for wich I need data of the client. What is the best/easiest way to send data from the client to the server. I've been thinking about a kind of EDI, XML and Recordsets. The EDI and XML kan be uploaded to the server (FTP), but I don't know how to send a recordset to the server.
>(The best solution so far is creating a recordset on the client, save as XML, send to server, read into a recordset en process) I've got the feeling it can be done easier. Any thoughts or reading tips are welcome.
There are several ways you can attack this:
1) Use an HTML form on the web page and then send the data as form data.
2) ADO record set. This can only be done if the user has IE.
3) XML. I'm not sure what kind of XML support exists in Netscape, so it may not work.
4) Look at the wwwIPstuff from Rick Strahl's web site,
www.west-wind.com. He's got some things that may help.
There are other choices too, but these are the ones I would look at first.
