Hi,
i'm searching a module/extension that allow me to retrieve and display data from a db external do DNN7 db.
I think the best is a grid that display data of a table or a view that are in a SQLServer database (maybe setting my connection string and query in the module settings).

Thank you and have a nice day

Teo

Most standard modules choose to store/retrieve data from the base DNN database.

I think it's unlikely that a standard module will do anything different.

However that's not compulsory and a custom written module could do this.

Thank you Richard,
i hope to find a free customized module that can help me.
I had found SQLGridSelectedView but i can't use it with my DNN 7.

Actually, the Reports module will do it.

So also will SGSV, a superb module from tressleworks.ca.

There are others including XmodPro, modules from Onyak and modules from DataSprings. There probably are others.

 Thank you.

I'm trying Reports and it's good, first cause it's free!
I think that for read only data viewer i will use it, now i will think to the best solution to edit data and send it to database.

Thank you very much
