Hi -

I put this out there as a reply to someone, but in case
they are not on here, hopefully someone can help me with
the following: (original problem is at the bottom of
this)...

Questions/Replies:

Which version of FP are you using? I'm using FP 2003.
Which version of Windows are you running? I'm running
Windows XP.

In order view the results from the database the pages must
be named with a .asp extension and you
must view them from your browser via
http://localhost/pagename.asp. This requires that you have
a
web server installed locally. Do you have one installed
and are you developing your web against the
web server by opening your site via http://localhost? I
don't understand a lot of this because I am VERY new to
all of it and just kind of flying by the seat of my pants,
but I am hosting the website on Winsave, and they tell me
that connecting Access to it is very easy, although I have
not been able to do it...mostly due to me not knowing the
steps involved I'm sure...

Also you will need a Windows IIS web host to use Access as
the database. I don't know what Windows IIS is...can you
explain?

Thank you so much for your help.

Using MSAccess Db with Front Page is very easy. However,
you have to be running with a real web server that
handles .asp pages: a Microsoft IIS compatible server,
that is. The pages you use must be named xyz.asp. You
must put the DB into the site and make a database
Connection to it: in Web Options (or something similar
depending on what version of FP you are using). Once this
connection is made, it's a piece of cake.

I suggest you visit www.frontpagewiz.com.

This site is a tutorial for all things Frontpage-ish (from versions 2000 upwards)
and includes such things as connecting databases - using only the features
frontpage offers e.g. the results wizard and the database interface wizard. It
is an excellent site for the beginner. - and it has simple step by step
instructions with screenshots of each step in the procedure.

Start there.

The microsoft knowledge base is extensive so that would be a good reference point
as well. Follow this link:

http://search.microsoft.com/search/r...e&na=31&cm=512


or search the MS Knowledgebase for "Frontpage databases" or "displaying database
in Frontpage" etc.
