Good day,

We need to develop an application that should be able to write information to
a database stored in a server and retrieve from it as well. There will be 3
levels of user access, and the main application will be published as a Director
Projector.

We have a programmer that has developed the database and the user login/logout
functions and the user levels in VB 6.0; what we now need is a way to make the
application that we are developing in Director communicate with the
programmer's routines.

I was thinking the ideal solution would be to have the whole interface within
the Projector and maybe have the database routines running in the background,
waiting for input from the Projector - is that possible? What are some
recommended resources or xtras?

This application will be deployed, probably on a brand new server to host the
database and the application and will be accessed from dedicated clients.

Any help will be very appreciated!

The usual way to communicate with server-side databases is by using the lingo
commands getNetText() or postNetText() to communicate with server scripts (php,
asp, etc) which in turn perform the SQL commands.

Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?

I'm looking at the commands in the Director reference now... they look like a
start.

I'll meet with my programmer with that information print it in a few minutes
and see what we can do with it. Many thanks!
