Mark;

Seriously, decisions such as what tool or platform are self-limiting. HTML does not handle data – that is why there is ASP. Now we have ASP.NET. You do what you have to do – as long as you are paid for it! I would suggest you look into Macromedia.

Check out the entire product line including Cold fusion, which I began using about 5 years ago. Now tell me, will you be allowed to purchase required tools and software?

Good luck.

>...by restrictions. I have been asked to develop an intranet application for the Agency I work for. I can not use ASP or IIS. We use Netscape as our web server software on an NT4 server. About the only tools I can use is HTML and VBScript [or Java Script]. I can create, install and execute COM DLLs and VFP runtimes on the server. I will need to run queries against an Oracle database, and send the results back to the browser. I will also need to allow the user to add/edit records and send back to the Oracle DB. How badly hog-tied am I? Am I wasting my time trying to do this under these limits? Do I have any chance of succesfully doing this? I have 2 West-Wind web sites running quite successfully and very easily. So all these restrictions are very disappointing knowing I could do this quickly and easily if I did not have these restrictions. TIA!
