Hello everyone,
I understand your point of view on ODBC, which is a little more complicated (library, installing drivers) .
I really liked the "simplicity" of the syntax of the instructions that I could use, especially when I had to refer to individual fields or set up a SQL string and so on.
I believe that the library hbmysql creates fewer problems (I think using socket connection for access ), but I did not make significant evidence: I'll try!
About date fields (but the same for other fields) the problem is: can the language/compiler use them? I am limited to dates in the standard format (like dd-mm-yyyy) appropriately managed by clipper; as mentioned by Roberto, I've used a version of WAMP (http://www.appservnetwork.com). I'll try XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org)
Thank (many thanks) you for your attention shown to my little job.
Best regards.
