Access a dbf from IIS4 with asp.

[Jonas Eriksson]

Hello, i have a shopping cart om my webpage. ( www.netstuff.se )
Every product is in a MS access db.

I also have my bookkeeping on that server.
Now i like to skipp the ms access db, and only use my bookkeepings db.

So my question is how can i access my bookkeeping from IIs? with asp code.
I have maked a entry in the odbc called artnr that points to the bookkeeping database called artnr.dbf

some entrys in artnr.dbf is

outprice
artname
taxrate

Hi Jonas,

It's a little bit unclear from your message which databases are in which
format, but I think you're saying that your bookkeeping database is in DBF
format and you want to access it from IIS? Well, try creating a SYSTEM DSN
(Control Panel, ODBC) that points to your DBF database, then simply let
ASP-db display it for you. You simply need to set the MyDb.dbDSN property
to the name of your DSN and it will do the rest. Follow the examples that
are provided (just modify the basic.asp or asp-test-pro.asp files).

Good luck,
John
