Send to Database

Hi I'm new to outlook forms, and am trying to design a
form that our members can use to send us orders. I can
get the form to email the results to my email address but
I was just wondering if there is anyway I can get it to
send the results to a CGI call that will input all the
data straight into our database.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Warwick

Usually, one uses VBScript code to open the database directly and push
the data to the database from the form itself. Assuming that your CGI
program is an application and is always running, you should be able to
open the FrontPage application, connect to the server, and push the
data to the CGI routine. Actually, I'm not sure if one would use the
FrontPage Application or the Browser application. I recall that when I
was pushing data from a word table to a new discussion page, I first
used the FrontPage type library objects, and then did it directly
through the Browser type library. I have had no experience calling a
CGI routine, so I can't help you with the details.
