Interact with a database

[Steve Hughes]

I have Windows XP Pro running and IIS. I have Frontpage
2000 and MS Access 2000.

I want to create an interactive web site, so that I can
log support calls directly to my web site, but also other
users can log support calls on the same site and view the
progress of their calls.

I have some web authoring knowledge and a little Access
knowledge, but struggling to suss this out.

Any help, tips ideas and instructions on how to connect my
web site to an access database (if database is required),
or maybe there is an easier way with the use of access
database??

Thanks in advance

FrontPage has:

o A Save Results To Database component that can add
data from an HTML form into a single database table.
o A Database Results Wizard that can do simple reporting.
o A Database Interface Wizard that creates sets of
pages an administrator might use to directly edit
the database.

However, I suspect the application you describe is
somewhat more complicated than these tools can implement.
As a result, you would have to program the application
yourself in ASP or, even better, in ASP.NET.

Basically, this would involve using HTML forms for input
and output, and writing all the program logic in Visual
Basic or C#.

mmm... way to complicated for me, although I would love to
be able to write in C# or Visual Basic, this would be out
of the question for me.

But thanks for your response
