Hi, I was going through the site. I have a requirement, and want to know if I can achieve this using XMOD Pro. I want to connect to external Oracle database, retrieve records, display it and allow users to export the results. Please let me if this is possible, and I would buy this module. Thanks, Rajkumar |

I am also trying to use Xmod Pro to connect to an Oracle database, but I am having issues. I have my connection string set up and I have a dropdown list binded to the datasource, but when I view it the dropdown list is empty, but there was no error. Is the product not capable of connecting to an Oracle database? |

The best way to achieve this is to use a Linked Server in SQL server. Set one of these up using SQL server management console in your DNN DB and then you can query that as if it were a SQL server DB. I just did this with an Access data source. One I had the linked server set up it worked a treat. There are providers for all major DB's. Regarding export you cannot export from XMP. But there are other tools you can use to do this. gus |

Just wanted to let you know that this works. It would be nice to work directly through Oracle, but I'll take this solution. |
