RE: [cobalt-users] RAQ4 ASP DSN Help Please!

["Ian C. Walmsley" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alex - this document is useless when it comes to the syntax to be used for
any of the databases - it also does not tell people why the test function
gives an error when being used.

Chilisoft documentation is also very poor.

One point that neither Chilisoft or Cobalt make clear is that you cannot
send emails from any ASP page using Chilisoft, despite this function now
being standard in NT.

In fact the Cobalt site reckons that 'Chilisoft is a technical mirror image
of ASP on NT' (according to cabalt website), but sadly it is not.

In order to email - you will need to buy a $250 CD - to install the
function!!

Has anyone purchased this? - and will it install on a RaQ4 - especially if
one does not have access to the RaQ itself - apparantly this package is not
downloadable!!

Cheers,

Ian
