very very new in FrontPage!!! FrontPage and Database

[g]

Hi, like I said I'm new in FrontPage. My question is, Is it possible to use
Frontpage as my front-end and MS Access as my BackEnd. The Idea is to use the
frontend web application only on our department with network connection. I
just wanted to start in a small project to learn more about Frontpage.

Thanks

You would use a web browser as the front end, and FrontPage to build the
web pages for the browser. You will also need a web server running on
Windows to serve the pages. You only need Access to create the Access
database and queries the pages use - and even that can be done with
FrontPage if you have a good knowledge of SQL, or the queries are
simple.

Hi Ronx

If I don't have a web server is my plan can still be done? Or let just say I
want to develop a simple front-end web page using frontpage on my computer
and the access database will be on my computer as well. On my web page I
wanted to have a field to enter data and store it on the table of my access
database.

Thank you

You will need a web server.

As Tom said, you will need a web server. The server is required
whenever the pages have to do something such as look up data in a
database.
For the application you have described I would use a MS SQL Server
backend, with Access as the client, no web pages involved there at all.
But for learning FrontPage, and using web pages to read/write the
database, a web server is essential - and since Access is involved the
server must be running on Windows.
