What I am trying to do is very simple I am sure for
most of you but for someone who is trying to teach themselves it is starting
to become a long process. I have purchased two books, one on building
Databases and the other on Microsoft Access 2003. Although I am getting
comfortable with both I am still missing how to connect this database up
over the internet. All I want to do is ask a question on a HTML page. ("Are
you coming to the lake this weekend?") Then I want two radio buttons after
that for the person to mark YES or NO. Then after that a text field to put
in there name. After they hit submit I want the page to reload showing the
contents of the database thereby displaying who is and who is not coming to
the lake. Sounds pretty simple, but for me its becoming quite the task. I am
also running DWMX on XP Home so I can not test any ASP pages. Another
question I have, perhaps I should tackle one at a time here, is that I am
not sure how to develop without the test server. My ISP already has the
capabilities of generating ASP pages from a certain directory but I am not
sure how to set up DWMX to develop these pages. The only tutorial I could
find to do so calls for me having some sort of PWS on my computer. I really
didn't want to go out and spend $200 on upgrading to XP Pro.
If there is anyone who is on the mood to assist a mere mortal, I welcome the
input.
