[dba-VB] Goin' for the (browser based) gold

Thank you, Gustav,

Yes, John, making simple ASP.NET Web Services is an easy exercise, and as
Gustav noted we have a sample of such a web service on
nowthwind.codeplex.com...

Hi John

But that's the easy part. The wizard nearly sets it up for you (you will, of
course, need the connection to the backend database as well but that's kid's
stuff for you). 
For the client - the app - the web service appears like a record source.

Shamil once posted a demo.

Also, lots of example code out there.

LOL, all I have to do is learn how to do web services.
