XP and MS FP2000 , Apache server with FP Extensions 5.0.2.2623

I'm trying to learn how to use ASP pages in conjunction with spread sheets
and databases. Can make connection and use 5 step Wizard but cannot get data
from Northwind to show up on a web page from the server

Would appreciate suggestions
Charlie
 
Hi Charlie.......
I'm trying to learn how to use ASP pages in conjunction with spread sheets
and databases.

Check out tons of example code at.....

It may be just the way I'm reading this but from the way you've worded this
it sounds like your database is on your computer.... or is it????

Best to you......

I could be mistaken, but I don't believe that ASP and/or Access are
supported on Apache.
 
Kat: You are not mistaken.

The page that fails to list data from the Northwind sample database is
http://www.mount.horeb.presbychurch.org/db.asp I do not know SQL and must
rely on the FP Wizard to function properly since I cannot understand or
troubleshoot the code.

The Microsoft site says without functioning server extensions various things
would not work, including a hit counter. A hit counter will work on this
site although I currently do not have one installed. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/assista...ID=HA010548561033&CTT=4&Origin=CH010423411033

The server is listed as: Apache Advanced Extranet Server/1.3.26 (Mandrake
Linux/6.1mdk) mod_ssl/2.8.10 open ssl/0.9.6g
 
However you can not use a Access database under Unix/Linux OS, and can only
use ASP, if the host has installed a ASP engine.

ASP is separate function/technology from the FP extensions, so having the
extensions has no bearing on the ability to run ASP, etc.

You can verify this by contact your hosting services.

Under Unix/Linux OS you would most likely be using MySQL server and PHP as
the server-side scripting language.

If you really want to work with Access and ASP, then you will need to switch
to a web host the uses Windows IIS Servers.
