Hi,

How can I create a DB connection through ASP?

I want to change the order status in table order.dat, I can do it from the
CMS but I want to do it directly from the ASP.

Thanks.

The easiest way of manipulating dataflex data is of course using a vdf
webapp. In this situation I think your problem is that you can only run one
webapp in your workspace which is the Electos webapp. I see four solutions
here:

- Buy a Electos developers license and build the required feature into the
Electos webapp yourself.
- Create a different webapp on a diffent location on the same data and let
this one do the job.
- Connect with the database directly from asp using ADODB in combination
with FlexODBC.
- Try to convince Edwin that there really should be a function to do this in
Electos with great real world examples ;)

The next release (release date unknown) will have a function that allows the
order status to be updated from the ASP.

Edwin
