i would also be interested in a 2 way data transfer system. i have an access database and i wish to use an online mysql database to hold license information for my clients. For security reasons i would like to have a php file to all the mysql handling. So i want the VBA to post the clients details to the php, the php would then access the database and return what licenses they have. the vba can then take that and activate the licensing. So far this apears to have half of the problem resolved. i can get the vba to post to the php and the php to retrieve information from mysql. However the next step has me perplexed. Mabye i should get the php to write that information to a predetermined variable named text file which the vba could then download and read and then delete.

or if you find a better way please let me know b

but at any rate great work its great code

Hi everyone..

im working on a project for my office, and i have used this code.. tested it and it worked.. but when i have pluged it to the program im working on, it started to give me this error message…

Compile error:
User-defined type not defined

With delicious:

You add a POST link to your favorites, then when you are surfing the web, if you see a page you like you click your favorites link, add some tags and hit send.

Bam, it adds your post to delicious.

I'm setting up my blog the same way, so it will be exactly as you described.....it's a bookmarking tool, plus I'll be able to comment on the link, and visitors will be able to comment on my comments on the link.

I understand your thoughts about delicious, as I've been starting to use it more I had the thought, "heck, this is the same as a blog except I can't add much content except tags, and I don't 'own' my links anymore." That was my motivation behind starting a linkblog.

However there isn't a need to use Excel for this, just a browser. I'll have to let the thought sit for a few days, get caught up on things, learn more php, and commence packing my stuff up(I'm moving in 2 weeks).

Actually, 2 evenings into coding the blog and things are going VERY fast. PHP hasn’t been as big of hurdle as I thought.

I hope to have a basic linkblog (no comments etc.) going by early next week, at a different domain.

Having the ability to code a website opens up many possibilities, just not sure what they are yet

per the send in links suggestion, and excel based delicious might be cool.
