I don't know much about VB but here is what I'm trying to do. This code produces nothing. The web browser will just time out.

The code below uses a datasource named timereports. I'm 100% sure the datasource works as I've tested some sql statements using winsql.

I don't care if I need to connect without the data source, I just need to successfully send and retrieve an SQL statement from the database and I can go from there.

This is a paradox 5.x database, on my K drive in this example.

Thanks again and the code follows:


<html><head><Title>Database on the internet</title></head>
<body>

<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "dsn=TimeReports;" & "UID=master;" & "pwd=master;"

SQL = "SELECT * from untcard"

Set RS = Conn.Execute(SQL)
%>

<table border="1" bgcolor="lightblue">
<tr><td colspan="2">Here is the data in the table</td></tr>
<%
' keep printing out data until EOF
Do While Not RS.EOF
%>

<tr> <td><%=rs("TC_EMPNO")%></td>
<td><%=rs("TC_ATIME")%></td></tr>
<%
RS.MoveNext
Loop
Conn.Close %>

</table>
</body></html>

Have you checked the SQL syntax?

The case of the tablename, putting ; in the end of the statement, and things like that?
