Hi there

One of my clients has this web application that uses classic ASP technology and uses RDS (remote data services) in ASP pages to manipulate data on the client side, via some bound controls such as <input type=text>, etc.

While it is a pretty cool application, I understand that RDS has been deprecated by Microsoft. What really is the implication of that? Can someone please tell me?

The thing is migrating to .NET is not a feasible solution for the time being because of a tight money budget.

If we are to stay with classic ASP, are there any technologies besides RDS we can use that we can manipulate data in .asp pages on the client side?

Just to make sure I get the message through, here is what's inside the HTML code:

  <object classid="clsid:BD96C556-65A3-11D0-983A-00C04FC29E33" id="ADC1" height="1" width="1">
  </object>

<script language=vbscript>
sub window_onload()
Dim objBusinessObj
  Set objBusinessObj = CreateObject(<something>)
  ADC1.SourceRecordset = objBusinessObj.GetData(<parameters>)
end sub
</script>


Any ideas would be great.

Thanks
