forewarning: FrontPage/Access is new to me

Am I missing something? Can I only send data from a form created in FP to one DB table? That seems very limiting. None of the documentation I've read states either way

Thanks in advance.
 
Well yeah!

If you try to send data to multiple tables from one form, your data entered
will not be updateable to the tables involved. Think about this in regards
to a relational database. Would you want to add order information on a
customer before you have a customer record? How would you know where to send
the order? How would you know which customer placed the order.

I'm not saying it is impossible, but to get it too work, you really need to
know how to design the tables and the write the code behind the form to
accomplish this. FrontPage is not the tool to do this. I have used FrontPage
for basic web development and not to connect to databases, as I write Active
Server Pages
