Drop down boxes and VB

[Guest]

I am trying to create a drop down box that has the days of the coming month
(is is possible to have a drop down box automate this, or do I have to
manually change the entries each day?) When a user selects a certain date, I
want the page to hyperlink to another, a general page that I have designed
that works for every date. The only difference from one date to another is a
paragraph of infomation that changes each day. I have each paragraph saved as
a text file on the server. Is there any way 1) to open a new page based on a
drop-down selection (so far I have only been able to save the information
with a submit button) and 2) to have the website that opens change
information recieved from a text file based on that drop down choice.

For the former of my questions, I know visual basic, I just have only used
Access, and I cannot figure out how to make a "button event" like I had in
Access.

Thank you!
J

Hi J;
You can use an Access database for this, assuming your web site is hosted on
a Windows server that supports ASP and Access.

The database record would have two fields, a date and the text for each
date. Using the FrontPage Database Wizard, create the dropdown list
dynamically from the date field. When the visitor selects a date, send them
to a page that displays the text in a Database Results Region. Here's an
example: http://www.cthealthpolicy.org/cthealthnotes/Default.asp
