Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to create an online
checklist that I can upload over the internet. Say, for intance, I was
fixing a computer and wanted to check off things I performed when I
finshed them. Then when I was all done with the client I wanted hit a
button and a page would send to my server saying they were done. SO, is
there a way to do this and how? Thanks in advance!
 
Yes
Requires a database and server side scripting

Here is how I would try doing that, without having to do coding on
your own. It requires that you have Microsoft Access, and a host that
supports your use of an Access database

Make an Access database table with the fields you would like to
display like task, status, datecompleted, comments etc. Put some fake
sample data in it just to make sure it works.

Then in Front Page, import the Access database into the fpdb folder.
FP will set up a database connection for you.

In Frontpage, make a page such as status.asp that will be where your
client goes to see the status of your project. Use the Database
Results Wizard to bring up the results you would like your client to
see. You can insert tables and such to make the displayed results
look nice

Then publish your result to http://www.yourwebsite.com

If all goes well, you and your client should be able to review the
status of the project on www.yourwebsite.com/status.asp which at that
point will show the fake data you started with.

Now -- All you have to do to update things is as your project
proceeds, is update the Access database on your computer (for example
changing the status of a task or adding a comment related to the
task), and then ftp the updated database into the fpdb folder of your
website. As long as you havent changed the structure of your database
(ie, added new fields), you dont need to re-import it into Frontpage.
The status.asp page will show the updated status.

Good luck.

Just an alternative idea, in case you'd like to keep it really simple. Just
make an HTML page, check off the things yourself as you get them done,
re-uploading the page, and when it's done, send a link to the customer.
