Newbie, sending and retruning data FM-ASP-FM

[norway77]

Hi, I don't know much about FM yet, but i'm working on it. I'm working on a program that will run on both mac and pc and when a person first opens it, it will go to an asp page and verify the user in SQL or MYSQL. I'm ok with the asp part and SQL but how do i send data to the asp page from FM and then also return the results to the FM program. I know there has to be a post out there somewhere but again i don't know FM that well at all. any suggestions or sample code would be great .

thanks in advance

Hi, d! Welcome to FMFORUMS! I suppose it depends on your particular system, setup, and solution, but I'd probably use POST/GET to send to ASP/SQL and then use URL (GET) to return data to FileMaker. I only have experience with Custom Web Publishing, though, so I'm not sure if any of that applies to Instant Web Publishing.
