I have a alumni web site that i'm working on with FrontPage 2003 and
would like to be able to do the following but not sure if i can or how to
go about it ,,could someone shed some light or point me in the right
place to read about doing this.

I would like people to register their info on my web page so that i have
a database to contact them for upcoming events from their school alumni
assn. , what i want is them to fill out all their information , have ALL
their information go to a database , but only have thier names , and
province/state/country to show up on the web page so that others can see
who've signed up to the web site.

Can this be done? And if so how do i do it or is there somewhere out
there that i can read on how to do this???

I hope that i've made myself clear enough as to what i'm trying to do
here ,,like i said , this is my first attempt at a web page , so it's my
first attempt at FrontPage.

All answers are appreciated,,,,

Thanks in advance
Gord

Try to play around a bit with File | New page or web |
Web site templates | Database interface wizard. Come back
here if you need more help.

Yes you can do those things.

1. Make sure your site hoster supports active server pages
2. On a page of your site, create a form that has form fields for all
the information you want folks to submit
3. Be sure to right click each form field / properties and name each field
4. When you have all that done right click on the form / properties and
you can work your way through letting frontpage make an access database
and a database conncection for the results. An access database will wind
up in the fpdb folder which is cool.
5 Now make a new page wher you do Insert / database / results and work
your way through the wizard. It will let you select which fields you
want displayed. Play around with it. When you get done, that page will
display the results from the database

Of course you cant "see" the results of all this until you have saved
your web and published it to http://www.whateveryoursitenameis.com

Good luck

Gord! Geez!! That was Step 1

So -- get yourself onto a host that supports ASP and Access databases --
they are available for $10 / month or less.
