Database Update Site

[Anonymous Chief]

Hi,

I have a simple database with the following fields

-date
-number (6 characters)
-number (8 characters)
-text (50 characters)

I know that frontpage has a template that creates something like this. I
noticed that I cannot control the number of characters in the numerical
fields. Please help me. How can I do this?

Edit the database in Access.

So I just open the database with Access while it is still in my frontpage
web.

Yes, you can.

However you will be much better off exporting the database to your desktop, then editing, etc. in
Access, close Access and then re-import the database back into your web.

I'm assuming that I would have started this with the database wizard in FP.
How do I export the file and then later import the file back to the web?

You can use FP database components or you can learn to hand code your ASP and manually create your
database, etc.

To export, use File Menu | Export

To import, use File Menu | Import or drag-n-drop the database into the fpdb folder.

Select the File in Folder List or Folder View and right click for File Export
(browse to your desktop for the save location)

Select the Folder (usually fpdb) in Folder List or Folder View and from the menu select File Import - Add files
(browse to your desktop for the DB file)
