Issue

• How do I use an ASP as an e-Work external form?

Resolution

• These examples illustrate a technique that combines the use of a web server generated page (e.g ASP or JSP) with an external e-Work form. A common technique is to use an external web page that redirects to an ASP, but the ASP was then responsible for updating folder information (usually by updating the database directly). With this technique the external e-Work form will redirect to the external web page, passing the hidden form information expected by e-Work. The necessary form tag is regenerated by the server page. This allows the external page to be submitted back to the e-Work web interface when the user presses the 'Submit' button as if it were a standard external e-Work HTML form.
• There are 2 attached zip files for downloading. One demonstrates the use of a single page; the other uses multiple pages. There is a Readme file for each one.
