If you don't want to use the RDSServer.DataFactory object to pass Recordset objects back to the client, you can create your own custom business object that will run on the server. The DLL (dynamic-link library) can be any generic Automation object created with Microsoft® Visual Basic®, Microsoft® Visual C++®, and so forth, or a server-side HTML page with Active Server Pages scripting code. Clients and Web front-end applications call the business objects to perform a particular function, and those middle-tier business objects in turn can communicate with back-end databases.
The custom DLLs could also contain methods that aren't provided by the simple RDSServer.DataFactory ActiveX DLL. These methods don't have to be related to data access—they could just encompass a business rule.
