Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer data between 2 web apps on 2 differen t web servers.
One organization is collecting data via a form and writing to their database, they then want to transfer this data to my application where we will write it to our database.
This is 2 totally different apps on 2 different servers both ASP and SQL Server.
Someone mentioned transferring the data in a querystring where we would capture, parse and save. But I read somewhere that querystrings are limited in amount of data they can pass and I believe one of the fields is a text-area.
I was also thinking maybe XML? Don't know too much about it but if this is a viable solution can someone point me to a good website. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

XML is a very good method of passing data between the two sites.

I tend to use ADO in the middle but SQL can handle directly:
Use the ADO Recordsets ability to save to XML
Then use XMLHTTP to post the resultant XML to a web page
In the receving page you save the requests XML to a recordset then save to SQL
