You just have to come up with client and server side code and some scheme for the primary and foreign keys to do the trick.

An incredible over-simplification. Could you be any more vague???

Lets see, it is easy to go into outer space. You get into this rocket thingy and you light a fire and go into space.

Yea, those NASA guys are just a waste of time....< s >...




>>For presenting data, yes - to some degree. The individual provider has to support it. Also, we do more in this world than just look at data. We update data. Updating data through a shaped recordset does not work. In fact, updating data through any recordset does not work all that well either...

>What is meant by -updating through shaped recordset does not work-? I have not tried updating with a server-side shaped recordset nor have I read about the possibility, but I do know you can use a client side one to write to a backend. You just have to come up with client and server side code and some scheme for the primary and foreign keys to do the trick.
