Internet-enabling an Access Database using IDC and ASP.
(Kevin German) (30 Mins.)
I will begin by doing a quick review of the built-in Internet/database
capabilities of the Office 97 and FP98 platforms. Then, I will demonstrate
several methods of entering and retrieving data from an Access 97 database.
These methods are: IDC/.HTX files, simple ASP, and an ASP/ VB .dll. The
third method will also show how to provide bi-directional access to MS
Project to show the flexibility of this approach (and also 'cause I think
it's pretty cool.)

Introducing Granite Consulting and some of their really nifty Access tools.
(Tony Toews) (30 Mins.)
Tony will discuss some of the really useful Access utilities he has
developed over the years as an Access developer. These will include; a
flexible report parameter selection form, a license key system for packaged
software, an OCX/DLL version checker, and an online backup utility. Some
works in progress include; Automatic backend updates, zipped backup to
diskettes (if required), automatic frontend update from server, and email or
ftp.

Open Forum Discussion.�
(All) (30 Mins.)
Bring your questions! I'm not going to guarantee they will be�
answered but we can have fun trying! If you don't have any�
questions then we'll accept answers too! Or anything else�
you'd like to discuss.
