| writes "Hi guys! I've never published any kind of data on the web, I am quite a newbie when it comes to internet. I've written a project (Visual Basic) though which reads all the database data from a text file (the same data is exported to text files, but it is easier to get data from a daily text file, since my database has around 1,000,000 rows!). Then, it fills a grid with that data (account id, credit amounts, etc), saves the grid (after a query, if desired) to a text/excel file and prints in Word. My question is that I need to create a form to show that data on the web (just for a single user account, to see the remaining credit, how much has he been charged, etc.). I've seen many techniques, but all are based on database tables. How can I publish the text file data, or from the grid?Thanks in advance!" |

don't quite get that part but OK, moving on...quote:

At this point save as "html" to a web served location as well as printing and I believe you are done.The point being if you are saving to excel anyways it is usually a very small leap to save as html. Often automated, but even still usually easy to iterate or string build the appropriate output.It's just text with some timely placed <???></???> thingamajigs.Or for a more hands off approach look up webtask in SQL Books on line,(if there is an sql server involved, which isn't really clear yet)Tenacious O |
