First Database

I've maintained a web site for our church for several years. It's newsy, but
not very complicated. I would like to display a form that our members could
use to indicate on which date they would like to donate flowers. All I
really need to collect is a couple of names and a date.

I would then like to store that data and display it sorted by date on a
separate web page.

Is there an easy way to do this? Would someone point me in the right
direction?

Thanks,

Bob Fasick
 
Try the database wizard features.
(look in Help for these features).

Requires an MS Access DB and Windows IIS server.
 
Make a page with a form containing the form fields of interest like
firstname, lastname, datedeliveringflowers, phone --- and whatever
else you need.

Right Click / form properties and let Frontpage create a database for
your form results using the Wizards. As the previous reply mentioned,
you need to be using a web host that support Active Server Pages to
use the Wiz, and the page will need to be saved as an .asp page
instead of an .htm page

Then make a new page and on it do Insert / Database / results and let
the wiz help you make a page where you can bring up the results of the
database. You wont be able to see the actual results when you are
doing this part.

When you are done, publish it to your ISP

But dont forget -- it wont work unless your ISO server supports Active
Server Pages and Access database.
