Suggestions - .NET or JAVA

[Bonnie]

Hi,

We are keying VIN's and would like to plugin a VIN decoder (not a simple
table structure) that checks VIN numbers and returns make, model, etc., but I
find the company that owns the tables only offers either a .NET or a JAVA
type plugin. Does anyone have an idea of how I might incorporate this?

I already do the checkdigit validation and return the year but I must have
their solution to please my customer on the make/model.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

find a new vendor.

Java and .NET are both obsolete.
Find something in PHP or in VB6 / COM.

Thanks Aaron but my customer requires this vendor and I can't afford to argue
the point.

then go with .NET

Java is obsolete; Sun only has a market cap of what $3bn? AMD could
buy Sun.

There are ways of integrating .NET with Office applications such as
Access. Trouble is I'm not familiar with any of them. You could try
searching using keywords such as using .net office.

Also Aaron's postings in the newsgroups are generally quite useless.

Thanks Tony. Knowing that there is the possiblity of using .NET is a help.

As to item two, thanks for the heads up on that also.

Bonnie;

Tony is the dipshit that is using a decades-obsolete database.

Don't listen to that canadian dipshit-- just because he's popular.
HItler was popular. And wrong.
