Good morning,

First off, I am a novice at webpage design.

I have been asked by a charity if I could manage to connect a MS Access
database to a webpage so that it will generate a catalog of item for an
auction. I know this can be done... The question is how. Could someone
point me to good resources to learn the proper technics or samples that I can
take from to get me going? Obviously this will be a read-only, there is no
need for user interaction with the db.

Thank you,

Daniel
 
Hi Daniel:
First, your web site needs to hosted on a Windows server that supports ASP
and Access.

Here's the basics to getting started:

Import the database into your site and create a database connection:

Create a new page in your web with an .asp extension and create a database
query; Insert > Database Results

Here are some resources:

Kathleen,

1- Thank you for the help!

2- What do I do if you host is unix based? Can FrontPage extensions help (I
ask because I know nothing about what they are or do)?

FP extensions will not help. What you are trying to do, as Kat pointed out,
require a windows server.

Since you are hosted on Unix, you would have to use MySQL and PHP, and FP can not help with this,
but will allow you to write whatever code you need yourself.
