database example

your database connectivity example of swfkit doesn't work. i even tried the installer but still the "undefined" message is displayed.

How about the MS Access Sample in the following link?

I tried downloading the ms access example and the same results:
"undefined"
is displayed... ???

You may need to install ADO

I already have it installed:

MDAC 2.7 SP1 ON WINDOWS XP SP1

[SWFKit]

It seems that the jet driver hasn't been installed. MADC 2.7 doesn't include the jet driver. The jet driver is required to connect to access db.

If the ADO.Connection object can be created successfully, the ADO must have been installed properly. If the ADO is installed without the jet driver, the "open" method will fail. An error message will be shown in the trace window of SWFKit.

Has this questions been resolved? Was the answer to simply install the ADO? I am curious because I am looking for a straightforward way of making a database driven application (Standalone calculator that can store user data) Primary target audience (65%) machine is Windows 98 and 2000, 30% on Windows XP and some on ME - some unsupported.

What would your recommendation be and if the ADO componant isn't there (as the XP audience is the prime demographic), and is there an alternate that can be packaged with the appropriate drivers (firebird perhaps). a wish of the client would be to have the option to install a single version and have the others act as a client, so if there was a DB and movie that anyone has done(with some source code... pretty please...) I would appreciate some comments.

Thanks in advance for the assistance!

i forgot to mention that I am testing your database example code on a windows XP machine and it is giving me "undefined" in all the fields. it works great on a win 2000 machine so I'm guessing that the ADO is the issue. I put in some statements found in another post that after the DB connection is attempted it will pop up a window letting you know to install it, but it never pops up, it appears that it is installed and working properly, pulling data, and attempting to pass stuff over.

I have put in trace statements throughout, but for the life of me I cannot find the trace window! someone help - is this in the menu structure or another app? I have looked through the documentation and this board, but I have not figured it out yet ??? (I'm kinda new to this...) Any help would be appreciated

The trace window is come along with the application to preview after you press F9, it might be minimized on the right-bottom corner of the screen.

The Access db sample requires the Jet driver.
