Abbreviated as TDC,
Tabular Data Control is a Microsoft
ActiveX control that is built into Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions, that enables Web authors to extract data stored in a delimited text file. Using the TDC, a Web author can display data either within tables or within controls found in a form. This enables the Web author to create simple
database functions without needing server side scripting such as
PHP or
mySQL.
