Beginners ActiveX problem.

[sbrandwood]

I have some ActiveX controls constructed using VB5. They use the Data Control to access a database.

They are embedded in a web page and work fine on our Intranet because the databases are still local but they won't work accross the 'net because the controls cannot find the databases.

Any help you can give will be a real lifesaver. Thank you for your time.

IMHO you should change your design and do the database access from a server application using technologies such as Active Server Pages instead of trying to access the database from a Web browser.
