Access on the internet

[Neil Greenough]

I have a MS Access 2000 database with different prices for different items
in the database.

I am also in the middle of creating a website.

What id like is for users of my website to be able to choose two items, and
then select how many items they want, and then for a price to be given based
on the things selected by the user and comparing that with the info in the
database.

Now, is there an easy way to do this? I am using MS Frontpage 2000. Do I
need to upload my DB to the internet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest way (and it isn't really that easy) is to use ASP pages which
can be edited in FrontPage. Access/JET is not a good choice for a website
that can get a lot of simultaneous hits. I use it on a public website that
gets about 5,000 hits a day, evenly dispersed throughout the day, without
any problems at all.

Yes you need to upload your database to the internet. A web server is
required to interact with the data and serve web pages. I use IIS.5.0, with
ASP pages, but you can also use ColdFusion or other technologies .
