frontpage and mysql

[Hlarkin]

Ok I have created a challange for my self & need some help. I understand
frontpage & I understand databases.

I want to build a pedigree database with mysql & use frontpage. I have
built a similar database with microsft access, however I think ms access
will be too big. (potential for thousands of dogs)

I am very new to anytype of programming & VBA.

I need help with the theory behind where to start.

Do I need to use forms inside frontpage & send to database?

Do I need to use VBA to create a user form? If so then how do I bring the
userform in VBA into an .asp web page?

I want someone to search the database, which will then bring up dog's info &
pedigree. There will also be a place to edit the dogs.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just don't know which method to
start with.

1. You don't need VBA which is not used on the web.

2. Access can handle a lot more then most people think... and from what you have indicated I don't
think you will have a problem using Access.

Looking into it a little more I think you are correct. I haved use the
database results wizard a few times for my product search.

I was thinking of using the Database interface wizard. I do have a program
login program (spooky login) for to use so I don't need the password editor.

My question is: Can I use the edit,update, etc pages without using the
database editor page? I do not like the split screen. Would I just need to
create the .asp pages & link them to each other via a form?

What I am wanting to do is allow people to view pedigree & dog info, but if
they want to edit, update, or add anything they need to log in.

Thanks

You can do this, but I would suggest that you learn to hand code, instead of relying on the FP
database wizard(s).
