using Data Base result

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm a rookie at this...

1) I have created a site which I publish locally on C: with front page
2) I have created a database with MS-Access and created a table as well as
an access page which is html.
3) I am able to use this page in my web and I can retrieve the records from
my database

?? what I can't seem to do is take the value in one of my textbox fields
which comes from the database and use it to trigger an action.

When I look at the code, the text box from the access page does not seem to
be an object, so how do I access its value??

Please help!!! Tx..

It is within the steps you carry out in the database results wizard. After
you've selected the fields to be displayed,

The step that has "Edit List" to edit the field list.

There is also a "More Options" button - click it.

Then go to "Criteria"

"Specify the Criteria which filter the records to be displayed....."

You need to use the option to put a text box on the page for the search.
Then you can have people type in a string click "Search" and the DB will
return the results, or you can use it in a query string like
"yourpage.asp?field1=criteria"

Is that what you're after?

actually, what I am trying to do is to take the result from the textbox
(which is the location of a file) and feed this string to a parameter of
windows media player.

If the textbox was an object called textbox1 I would code something like:

mediaplayer.filename = textbox.value

the problem is that the textbox created by access in the wizard has an ID
but does not seem to have any of the properties that objects usually have

Or more liklely I don't know how to work this textbox to get the value from
it...

That's a bit beyond me....

Sorry I can't help more, and you didn't elaborate on the media player thing
in your OP, hence my explanation as best I knew.
