I am completely new to Web programming full stop(C++ programmer). I am trying to learn by creating a web interface to my local Interbase DB.
I have seen code looking like this which connects to an Access DB:

ObConn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection")
ObConn.Open("MyDataBase")
ObDS = ObConn.Execute("Select statement")
...

... <%=ObDS("Field")%>

...etc.

Only thing is, I have to specify UserName and Password.

Anybody got some ideas?

Most grateful for any info,
Thommie.

Well, those statements are actually ASP code.
If you are running an IIS server, then i guess you may as well configure your server to restrict access to your db.

Ad for using JavaScript for username and password... there are a few scripts available on the net that perform some level of encrytion to the password and username... so you can give those a try.

But if security is an issue, i don't suggest you use JavaScript because everyone can see the source.

Hope this helps

Hi, I'm using Access as a backend on my machine and I configured a DSN connection. I think the same goes for Interbase DB too.
Here's a link on how to connect to InterBase using ASP.

Just the info I was looking for. It almost works. The browser returns an error saying:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[INTERSOLV][ODBC InterBase driver]Optional feature not implemented.

Have something to do with the lack of server maybe?

Thommie.

Ok, it seems you have succeeded in setting up a DSN without actually setting up the driver for it.
To add a new driver to the list of ODBC Drivers that are already installed on your system, you have to use the driver's setup program. Have you looked on Borland's site?

I never did such a thing, I have tons of MS Drivers already.
Somebody out there?

ta,
