Auto Updating Day/ Month

[Guest]

I have a simple HTML(Events.htm) page with a schedule of events. At the top
of the page is a notice of the group's next meeting. The meetings are always
the first Monday of every month. I would like to have it so the next months
meeting is auto generated after the previous months date expires and so that
as the date/day passes the scheduled event it disappears from the page. I'm
assuming this would be best accomplished with ASP. Would this be too
monumental of a task for a novice such as myself or is there a built in
component in FP2003 that could handle this? Any and all suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Nothing is built in to specifically do this, as it is a custom function, however you might be able
to accomplish this using the FP database component.

Thank you Thomas! I haven't had much luck with FP DB component in the past. I
hate to sound stupid but.......would you explain a little bit more?

I don't use the FP database components, I hand code, as it allows unlimited flexibility.

Is your site hosted on a Windows server that supports ASP and Access?

You could put the event information into an Access database and use the
FrontPage Database Wizard to display only those events whose date is today
or later. The event information wouldn't be auto-generated but basing the
display on the date would work for you.

Thank you All for your tips and suggestions! I have to admit because of
limited time and scripting expertise Lady Web Weaver's suggestion of "brown
bear software" is very appealing! It seems might be able to have my cake and
eat it too! Thanks again!
