Has anybody out there incorporated credit card processing into VBA code?

[mdommer1]

Some credit card companies offer server side ActiveX controls for the processing of credit card applications and claim that their libraries work in any language that supports ActiveX controls, but I have not been able to make them work succesfully in Microsoft Access code. Has anybody out there been down this road?

If a specific approach is needed please see:

I am attempting to incorporate their sdk into my Access application.

In the circumstances a link to the specific technical page may be allowed. A simple link to someone's website home page is likely to be regarded as spam - especially by a relatively recent member. I found nothing there that could be related to the question.

The problem will be the "server side" part of the ActiveX controls.
Access is no server oriented application and most Service Providers won't install Access orother Microsoft Office applications on a server....

I did however succeed once in running web services from Access (Check out http://www.databasejournal.com/featu...le.php/3567511) and that's one way to cope with it.
Another might be to embed a web browser in a form and navigate to a page where you have the needed control (e.g. in php, asp or .net) available.

Nico, I'll study your databasejournal post and see if I can adapt it. Thanks.
