Database integration with fp 2000

[Mike]

is is possible to have a form from your database such as
the one in Northwind sample automatically update records
from your website if used in the same manner as a
guestbook. Thanks

If you set the form to connect to a database, then yes, you can use it for
anything you like.
I don't know what you mean 'automatically' but you can have a form (which is your
"guest book submission" form) and have the entries saved to a database, then a
link to your asp page using the results wizard to display the entries.

If I'm off the ttack here with answering, please clarify what it is you're
asking. If you want an automatic update or something you'll probably need to
write a custom ASP code.

Andrew
thanks for your response. What I want to do is use the
guest book form on my website to update my database table
name "customers" when the user fills out the form. I now
know what you mean by update to db but all the current
fields on the form do not show up in my table. I have
updated my table thru access but it doesnt show in FP. Am
I making sense
Mike

Just create a form that has the same fields as your database in FP, then under Form Properties,
select the send to database option.
