Can some one please help, Ive got a training application running in a web
browser for both PC and Mac. The Authoware lesson sends data out of Authoware
via PostURl to a asp page which then puts it into a access database. All works
fine on PC and on the old Macs power pc i think there called, but as soon as i
run the lessons onthe new Intel Macs with Rosetta enabled, i cant get any data
out of the lesson, ive tried the Readurl command aswell.
It seems that Rosetta and the web player arnt playing nice together.
Please Please help.

I think there's a known, and unresolved (and likely to remain
unresolved) issue with PostURL on a Mac. In fact, I'm kinda surprised it
seems to work on a non-Intel Mac as this issue has been around for a
long time.
This page:

ms
indicates the issue is just with IE on the Mac (and for 5.2, though I
don't doubt the issue remains with version 7).
So I'd recommend you make a simple test application that just does a
PostURL to the ASP page and test it on both platforms. Does it work on
the Mac and not the PC? If so, then the common workaround is to
restructure the ASP page to accept 'GET' statements instead of 'POST'
statements and use the Authorware ReadURL function instead. I know
you've said you did, but I'd test both thoroughly as, if neither works,
then you're pretty much out of luck unless you can use a third-party
Xtra, like SecureNet
