Hi,

there are two ways you could approach this, the first is to switch from using a native rb database to store the data to something like either mysql pr postgresql or whatever. This approach would require also setting up a webserver (apache) and learning php or something similar to provide the data to the web.

from the sounds of it, this is rather more work than you were hoping to do.

The other possibility is to create a pretty simple webserver yourself and build it into your application, take a look at the serversocket in realbasic and have a bit of a play. <g> making your own simple webserver _is_ a lot easier than it sounds, and prolly less work given your situation than learning and installing mysql, apache and php.

whether its the right solution though depends a lot on how many people will be using it, and how many people accessing it at the same time.

Yours cheerfully,

Thanks for your responses. I'm afraid I don't know what PHP is. What I want to do is to make a gradebook for a teacher, and then allow student to see their current grades with some sort of password. I have the gradebook in Real Basic using the native database format. I don't know where to go from there. I have created webpages with Photoshop and Dreamweaver (actually all of the slices and rollovers are made in Photoshop/ImageReady then Dreamweaver just for tags,
links, and text). Can anyone point me in the direction of some reference?
