Ah, the mimetypes are messed up again :| Either that, or Jason still hasn't fixed it 
A working link to that example is http://www.castlesoftware.co.uk/downloads/odbc.zip

No. Most online databases don't accept remote connections anyway... go use a PHP script

yeah, for a start you can just use the IE activex and have it display a page with the results on, and i'm sure there's something else you can do as well.

Something i did digg up today for a app i am making:
Sample HTTP Exchange
To retrieve the file at the URL
http://www.somehost.com/path/file.html
first open a socket to the host www.somehost.com, port 80 (use the default port of 80 because none is specified in the URL). Then, send something like the following through the socket:
GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0
From: someuser@jmarshall.com
User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0
[blank line here]
The server should respond with something like the following, sent back through the same socket:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Fri, 31 Dec 1999 23:59:59 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1354
<html>
<body>
<h1>Happy New Millennium!</h1>
(more file contents)
.
.
.
</body>
</html>
After sending the response, the server closes the socket.
To familiarize yourself with requests and responses, manually experiment with HTTP using telnet.
You can use a POST request to send whatever data you want, not just form submissions. Just make sure the sender and the receiving program agree on the format.
The GET method can also be used to submit forms. The form data is URL-encoded and appended to the request URI. Here are more details.
If you're writing HTTP servers that support CGI scripts, you should read the NCSA's CGI definition if you haven't already, especially which environment variables you need to pass to the scripts.

Yes, use MooSock or WinSock and you don't have to worry about downloading the file properly.
