Out of curiosity, can you make an access database from code, not needing one in place to start?
Soound alot like the db my frontend uses. And it is completely independant of the front end.
But I don;t knwo how on text you will do a greater than, less than thing. My frontend just does a three char search (to simulate entering intials for a high score). But the interface to teh db isn't dependant on three chars. You also choose wheither to use those three to search just the first letters of the game name OR anywhere in the game name.
The unfortunate thing is it output 20 roms at a time in webform format because my frontend is in flash. IE gamename=Pac-Man, Galaxian, Defender, Robotron, Asteroids&romname=pacman, galaxian, defender, Robotron, asteroid=numberofromtotal=360
Flash has limitations. One is it can;t store large arrays. So if you happen to have all of .37b11 roms that won't work. That's why I ask the database for 20 roms at a time from a sorted query. Kinda sucks but it looks cool.
