Class definitions: VBA vs. VB .NET

[Cor Ligthert[MVP]]

Ed,

Although this is not really a subject of this newsgroup.

Have a look at the input file HTML element.
It is mostly hard to find but this is to upload a file to a server

Going the FTP route as a newbie results mostly in nothing as you need to
many persons to help you.

I much appreciate the discussion and am getting to know the problems,
no matter what the direction. After the tech at my hosting service
told me I couldn't read csv (not sure that is true, but it's what he
said) with MySQL (which is what they provide) I decided to convert my
cvs file to MySQL on my Windows machine.

You could do that on the server, either with an "admin" page or a vb.net
prog running on the server. That way you only need to transfer a csv file
rather than going the backup/restore route for the database updates. Also,
the db would be unavailable during the restore operation onto the webserver
copy of MySQL, whereas doing database updates in code would take away that
downtime.

Andrew,

Progress! See my note in the "CVS as input" thread today.

I don't yet understand the subtle differences you mention regarding
availability. Guess I will learn.
