If you were asking for help with something rather trivial, like overloaded
functions, I could probably give you what you needed in a single reply and I
would be happy to do so. However, what you are asking for is "Internet Apps
101", which requires mastering several new concepts and Delphi IDE tools. If
you can pay me a reasonable rate per hour, I can teach you how to create an
internet app, which will run on your desktop, not in a browser, yet still use
the browser HTML protocol and support multiple clients across the internet, who
can access and update a remote database on your web server machine. I am no
expert on web stuff, in general, but I have successfully created my own
internet app of this type. I use D7 Enterprise because I have it, it works
well, and I cannot afford to buy a newer version. I create a Datasnap Remote
Data Module, connected to a local ODBC Data Source, using ADO. The Datasnap
server is an EXE that runs as a service on the web server machine. Internet
clients send requests for data to the application server, which is the Datasnap
remote data module. The client EXE uses client datasets and never has a live
connection to the server. All, or at least most (99%) of the SQL is executed
on the SQL server. I use Firebird, but you can use any SQL RDBMS for which you
have necessary drivers to connect via ADO. To be able to follow my
instructions to create such an app, you will need a domain name and a dedicated
box (XP Pro or better) for the server. I use Windows IIS for the web server.
I haven't been able to get this to work with Apache yet; however, I know it
can. For initial development, you will also need at least one machine OUTSIDE
your server's network and, later when you test concurrency issues, you'll need
at least two machines outside your server's network. You will also need an
enterprise version of Delphi with Datasnap. I use D7 Ent, If you were to use
D7 Ent, we would probably encounter fewer problems. Let me know what hourly
rate you can pay and we'll go from there. Sorry I can't do this for free. I
would like to; however, I am unemployed and must conserve the use of my time
and money. I hope you understand and I hope I haven't committed some kind of
Yahoo Group sin by asking for payment. Regards, Sam Hunt [email protected]
