Hi all ,
I need to create a WS which connects to database ( Sql Anywhere 11 / MsSql 2005/2008 )
The connections is via ODBC and all parameters for connection in an INI file on the machine's hard disk .
I have build a WS with 3 functions ,two of them are connect and disconnect ,and 1 is for retrieve data and returns it .
For Retrieve Function : I put uf_connect() at start , and uf_disconnect() at the end.
uf_connect() returns -99 if connection has been failed .
I deployed it to my local machine's IIS ( Running on WS 2008 with IIS 7 )
Questions :
1. Is that wright ? that's how connect / disconnect should be when building WS ?
2. Trying the WS, I always get error code = -99 meaning connect to the data base failed , Why is that ?
3. The ini file with the connections parameters placed in directory under c: drive . How should I refer to it in the WS code ?
as : c:\directory name \ *.ini ?
4. Can I use MessageBox() in code or messagebox would not show all ?
working with Pb classic 12.5 build 4015
Thanks
Moshe
