That's good. I may toss ya some of my own work. I just finished a bunch of 'jobs', but I'm sure there is going to be more just around the corner. Personally, I use VB .dll's whenever I can, when using ASP. First, I like VB 6.0's environment, however, and more importantly, VB .dll's run a LOT faster then plain ASP. (Did a little testing for an article I co-wrote with Susan, and on a first pass run between a plain ASP, and an ASP/.dll combo, just doing a simple count to 10 million, the ASP/.dll combo ran 260 times faster then the raw ASP page. That combo ran it in 100 milliseconds, where as the raw ASP took 26000 milliseconds (and if you do the math there, that's 26 seconds the user would have to wait for the page to load.) On the second run, both ran faster (because they were cached), but the ASP/.dll was now something like 350 times faster.)

Do you use VB .dll's with ASP, or just plain ASP?" I have used VB .dlls in some ASP apps. Most of the projects I get aren't sufficiently complex to justify them, though, so I usually don't. -C- ---- Original Message ---- From: DWUTKA at marlow.com To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com, Subject: RE: [AccessD] Getting Desperate - Apologies for the OT message Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 23:50:40 -0500 >I'll pass your resume along, hopefully my 'contact' has contacts in >CA. > >Quick question about ASP skills.
