Obviously, I know what you meant. That's sweet. So, as long as they don't arbitrarily change the structure of their table, you're golden. I hope you don't mind, but this interests me terribly, so I might have to bother you with a couple of FReepmails...

From my perspective, you have made folding for the FR, with multiple CPUs, a much more pleasant experience. Since you're working with ASP, are you using MSDE or Access for you local database? Please don't be offended that I asked if you're using Access, LOL.

Hah! Yeah, using Access. It gets a lot of bad press around here on the technical threads, but nothing beats if for small quick databases.

I generally hide my database calls behind DCOM objects that can serve up method calls in XML-RPC or SOAP so they can be used by clients written in ASP, Java, Flash, etc., and aren't tied to any specific database.

So, as long as they don't arbitrarily change the structure of their table, you're golden.

That's definitely a potential issue! Fortunately, it looks like it's a pretty simple structure, and likely static. They're probably generating the page automatically from their own internal database. In any event, if they change the structure, it'll become immediately apparent, and I should be able to adjust quickly.
