Hi

I have a very simple Access database which lists over 1000 names, has a query/form for the user to search by Initial and by full name and returns results. I would like to include this on our web site designed in FrontPage. The site is hosted remotely. I understand that I can drag the database to frontpage and set up database conections but does this mean that the entire database is launched 'as is' or will it try to find database on local PC.

Sorry if this sounds stupid - I'm a bit new to this concept

Thanks for any hel

When you publish a copy is also sent to the remote server, this would then
be the db that feeds the results you see on the web pages as *.asp pages.

Any Access query will not work "on the web" You will need to create queries
within asp pages - FrontPage has a db wizard for doing this.

The remote serve must have IIS - Access db's and FP do not mix on Unix/Linux
