Form to Database Results

[Guest]

I have called my server provider and they made sure that everything was
hooked up correctly.

So now when I enter information in a form it takes me to a page that
displays everything I have entered.

The problem is when I go to the database in Front Page the information isnt
in there.

I have right clicked the form, form properties, send to database, created a
database off the form and then saved the form with an .asp extension. I go
on line to test it live enter all the information in the form click submit,
receive a page that shows the information that was put on the form and exit
out. I then go to my database through Front Page and there isnt anything
recorded.

What am I doing wrong? I have also tried it the opposite by using the
database wizard and was unable to make it go to the database.

Now I can go into the database through frontpage and update information and
it will update on line that side works fine.

Please help me. Thank you

Mickey

Hi
When you submit the information to the database using asp pages the
information will be sent to the database on the server not on your local
machine. You can look at this information by setting up the database
interface wizard.
It is a good idea to set the the databases on you local machine not to
publish (right click in folder veiw and select don't publish) after you
have first published it or it will over write database on the server

I found out what the problem was. I contacted my server provider again and
they had to make my database writable. After they did that everything has
worked smoothly. Thank you
