We have a web page listing 100 advisory opinions and a sentence summary what it is about.

For example: Advisory Opinion1 Lobbying on a contingency fee basis
Advisory OPinion2 Definition of first time candidate.
Advisory Opinion3 Membership in lobbyist principal organization does not make member a principal.

Each opinion is a link to a detailed page.

Now we would like to add a search button on the page. For users to search , for example, user wants to find out all Adisory opinion about lobby, he will find results listed Advisory 1 and Advisory 2, then click the link will lead to detailed page.

How can I implement this? Can I do it by using front page or other dynamic programming like ASP?

Thanks for any ideas and suggestions in advance
 
The best approach would be with ASP and to place all of your advisory
content into a Access database, at a minimum, the database would need 4
fields:

RecID = Autonumber field
Opinion = Text field (Advisory Opinion 1)
DetailLink = Text Field (Pagename of detail page)
Summary = Memo field (Lobbying on a contingency fee basis.)

You will then need to create a page to display the content in place of your
current page and then to set up the search function, you can start at:

http://www.asp101.com/samples/db_paged_search.asp

You might be able to accomplish most of this using the FP database
components, however you really should consider learning to hand code in
ASP/VBScript, if you haven't already done so, as it will make implement
various code snips available on the internet easier to implement when you
have a fairly good understand of actually writing your own ASP/VBScript
code.

Check out the search add-in at www.frontlook.com for $39.
It is much better than the one that comes with FP 2002.

You can specify what files visitors to your site are able
to search and you can break it down by category.

Let me know if this helps,

Mike

Thank you guys very much.

Yes, I do want to start learning ASP ar asp.net.
Part of my job now is VBA programmer, so I think VB script
will not be difficult to me.
Thank you for detailed information and resource.
I'll go right now to look at the web to see if there is
similar examples.

Thanks again
