Hello all

I'm a newbie learning asp.net.

I have a webform with 4 listbox and 1 text box
listbox1 values = Mar,Jun,Sep,Dec 'start month
listbox2 value = 1982 to year(now()) 'start year
listbox3 values = Mar,Jun.Sep,Dec // 'end month
listbox4 values = 1982 to year(now()) 'end year

users enters query in text box as empid+empname='01TEST'

Our database is in Novell server //mydir/mydata/ like mar01.dbf,jun01.dbf,sep01.dbf,dec01.dbf and the same for all years from 1982

Now the question is

how to iterate thru the database ie if user select MAR 01 to DEC 02 i want to get the data for empid+empname='01TEST' from MAR 01 to DEC 02 and store it in a temporary database.

How to refer to database that's in server from asp.net ?

Thanks for any input
