Par2: Using Topspeed ODBC with ASP pages
1998-11-17 -- Pratik Patel
 
I've been using TPS-ODBC & ASP on a few sites now.

Works great.

1.  Install your TPS-ODBC on the machine which you have ASP
     installed.  ( I use MS-FrontPage / ASP on Win98 w/ MS-
     Personal WebServer for development.)

2. Define your ODBC "System DSN source". If your apps store multiple
     file(s) within a single tps file, must use "File"

     example:
     datasource=MySite.Demo
     database=c:\fullpath\Sample.tps\!

3.  In your ASP (I use the DatabaseWizard in FrontPage - then modify as
needed)
     Use 'DSN=MySite.Demo' to let ASP "point" to the ODBC datasource.
     Then I define my query as: "Select * from Products..."

     where in the Clarion DCT you have the Products file defined as:
Sample.tps\!Products

4.  Make sure you:  "Allow scripts and programs to be run" set for the
folder that contains the ASP.
