FP Database Wizzard

Hi,

I am working on a site that I want to use a database (mdb) with . I have
never used the database results wizard in FP03 as I usually leave that stuff
to my programmer to sort out. But it is about time I wet my feet and started
using it.

I am not sure what FP can handle so I though it would be prudent to ask here
first. So I want the site to:

1) Allow for a user to log in (be redirected to another page) if their name
and password are stored and matched in a table. I would like to give them a
session cookie after that so they can visit otherwise inaccessible pages in
the site.

2) Allow for a new user to register through a page that allows them to enter
their own user name and password and enter details relating to their address
and work experience.

The database is split into three tables: User ID, Address, and Ambitions.

Should it all be straight forward in FP or could there be some serious
problems with what a want. No point starting if it's not going to work.

Cheers

Howdy.

FrontPage doesn't have these kinds of capabilities built
in. You would have to program it yourself (in ASP or
ASP.NET, for example) or find a third-party solution.

If you want to try programming this yourself, you can get
sample code from the CD that domes with Microsoft Office
FrontPage 2003 Inside Out.

to both 1) and 2) as you've said - let your programmer handle - frontpage cannot
do these just with the "wizards" it offers.

Yeah Jim, I have been wanting to buy your book for a while, since I decided
to continue using FP03 (dreamweaver has its issues too) but haven't seen it
in the shops here. I may just have to order one from Amazon.

Cheers

Thanks for that. At least I didn't spend heaps of time trying to get FP to
do what it can't. I'll get my programmer to help me out with a asp.net
solution.
