Having been inspired by Synewave's web pages I used my Access skills to create the following form. It gets its data from 44 separate queries but the results are displayed in less than 2 seconds.
How can this be achieved using web-compatible code? At this stage I'm only researching how it can be achieved rather than wanting to get stuck in to coding it. I doubt I have the skills anyway.
I imported dayfile.txt into an Access database to achieve the above.

Brilliant, thanks Steve.steve wrote:You can do it with PHP as described here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_db_odbc.asp
The following is the SQL for the all-time max temperature. I presume I can just paste this into the $sql parameter and it will run?
SELECT TOP 1 Max(MaxTemp) AS [All-Time Max Temp], MaxTempTime AS [Time], Date
FROM Dayfile
GROUP BY MaxTempTime, Date
ORDER BY Max(MaxTemp) DESC;

Yes, it should do. You'll have to change the other bits that refer to Company Name etc to match your names, of course.RayProudfoot wrote:The following is the SQL for the all-time max temperature. I presume I can just paste this into the $sql parameter and it will run?
The bit I'm not sure about is how you create a DSN on your web server...
There's info here about DSN-less connections: http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/node/view/9#dsnless

Thanks Steve. DAJ is hosting my website so if you're reading this David could you confirm if it's possible to create a DSN please?
