Hi Group.

I've built a small site (nothing too serious but it's popular), which
includes a form to submit some details to me.

The form is here:

www.steveolive.co.uk/halloffame.htm

At present, I receive those details vie email and manually enter them on
this page:

www.steveolive.co.uk/halllist.htm

Now I know this can be done automatically when the form is submitted, but
here are the questions:

What is the easiest way (if there is more than one possibility) to do this,
what hosting options will I need, and therefore what web technology do I
need to learn? (I'm guessing .asp pages here).

I've previously used the FP ability to save results to a file, but I'm not
sure that I have enough control over where the data goes in the generated
page, or how it looks if I use this basic function.

I want to be able to retain the other page content, and use the style
information that currently exists.

Thanks for your help as always.

If you want to use ASP and Access, you will need to be hosted on a Windows
IIS server with FP extensions.

One thing you could do is save all this info to a database
and then use DRW to display this information, but it
wouldn't do the alternate coloring for you. You may need to
play with the background imagery...
