ASP to initiate a work flow?

Hello,I would like to create ASP that will initiate a workflow in LIvelink.I have seen posts from Morning Star about this but I get the feeling that I would have to purchase that module from them.Not an option that is available to me.I think I could stumble through myself and create an ASP page but I do not know what lines of code I would need to write in my ASP in order to activate a Workflow within Livelink..Is anyone out there able to help me with that?Thanks,Asha

Your best bet is to use a COM object - I think a few of the thrid party vendors supply a COM wrapper for LAPI or you can buidl your own. This can be used with an ASP page to call the LAPI functions you require.The only way to do it directy using ASP would be to populate the DB directly and that is VERY risky.

If you have the Livelink SDK you could create a request handler which would initiate the workflow for you. The ASP page would just redirect the user to the URL for the request handler.Or you could use LAPI, but I find LAPI hard to work with.
