[WEB4LIB] RE: using MS Access2000and Frontpage to serve datab ase on web

[Rosenberger, Anne]

Hi!
Having just completed a class that made heavy use of FrontPage 2000, I can
confirm that it does have an easy way to link forms and results to an Access
database (tables and queries only). Essentially, it writes the ASP for you.
Good luck!
Anne

Hi...

I have been experimenting/working with Access and Access Pages for several
months but I don't use Frontpage...I hard code.  I'll be interested in
hearing responses to this too.  But besides that...if you are interested in
learning about the coding that will make a connection to an Access database,
I can explain how I'm doing it.

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of using  Access 2000 and Frontpage 2000 to
serve a small, simple database via the web?  Am I correct in thinking that
the latest Frontpage has add -ons which make it easy to link html forms to
the Access database without having to write ASP?

Thanks in advance.
