Author DBF/NTX and access from web application

How can I access DBF/NTX from web server?

I would like to create a web application/web service displaying very
simple page with 2 fields: part number and stock quantity
Stock information is stored in DBF/NTX.
The displayed page should be read/parsed by an application running on
the sales representatives' Pocket PC.

The only possibility I know is Advantage Database Local Server and ADO
NET driver, the 32-bit version I use in my Delphi app's cooperates with
Clipper and DBF/NTX, but the license doesn't allow to use local server
in middleware applications.

The small trading company has 10 mobile representatives, the solution
doesn't need to be powerful, scalable etc.

Hi ktos,

we're using ADS 8.1 on windows and netware servers.
(the ADS 'server', not 'local server'!)

Access to DBF/NTX via
- Clipper 5.3
- CA-VO 2.7
- PHP 4 / Apache
- VisualBasic (ODBC driver)
- Delphi (ADO driver)

and its very fast!

Ciao
Frank
