Hello all,
I'm a newbie and like to learn more about progress.
Platform is Linux, Progress 9.1D
Currently I'm trying to remotely connect to the database via VPN.
While I'm connected to the remote site I can telnet and login to the database.
But I like to explore my other options, by using other GUI type application to connect to the database.
In my case I'm using WebDev9 which is a French product with native access to progress database.
I'm stuck at the page asking these questions and I'm not sure about the answers.
here are the required parameters:

Mode: I select "native access for progress"
Server: I typed the IP address of the server
Database: I type the "db_name"
Username: I typed a valid system user
Password: password for the above user

I get error connecting.

I hope other developers have experiment/developed with WinDev or WebDev to connect to progress db and can share the information.
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with WebDev9 but suspect it uses PROGRESS SQL server to work with DB. If it's so you have to use valid SQL username to login. Try to create SYSPROGRESS user with password using Data Administration tool and use it to connect. SYSPROGRESS is the only username which is available in both SQL and 4GL servers.

web enablement??

Windows
OpenEdge 10.0

How do I make my database accessible for the web??
If I drop the .db on my server how do I then interrigate this db??
I have heard of WebSpeed, it is part of my license though I have never used it I am NOT skilled in WebSpeed.
What would be the easiest way to interrigate this db sat on my sever??
Can I connect using just HTML? Have a shortcut to execute connecting to my db which I then execute from my HTML
TIA

Definitely you do. And I suppose WebSpeed is the easiest way to do it. Although there're another options you can consider. First of all it's CGI scripts. They are very simple but there's a performance problem with them. The second way is the use of the progress application server and proxygen. First of them let you execute 4GL query whereas the second one let you generate files for java|.net|web services you can insert in your web application.
I think there're another possibilities but these ones are used in general.
