web hosting and send email/skype scripts?

[labyrinthian]

hello everyone,

we are looking into having our database hosted on the web. before i do that, i want to figure out how the scripts we have will function. we have scripted buttons that allow you to click to automatically open skype and dial the number. we also have scripted buttons that create emails with attachments in the user's default email client (outlook). Will having the database hosted on the web mess any of those scripts up? Or will it behave as usual when the db is opened as a remote file? i'd appreciate any advice.

If you are talking about having the database hosted remotely, and then using Open Remote to access it (like the service offered by Point in Space and a number of other providers) then this should work as expected...

If you are using IWP or Custom Web Publishing to actually access it via a browser, things are not so simple.

Yes, we would be hosting it and opening the db as a remote file. So it should work with each user's own Outlook and Skype applications? Great, thank you for the response!
