I'm looking at CXP samples for the first time. There is 2 things I can
not find :
- How to use a different DBE? My apps are using ADS with OEM caracter
set.

- How to include an xbase DLL full of code? I would like to put all
business logic in a DLL (create customer, create invoice, ...) and just
call functions from CXP.

I succefully modify websamples\suppliers.cxp to use ADS with OEM
caracter set. I also add forward/backward index support. Here it is if
someone need it.
