We have just begun a project to index our local newspaper. Our
plan is to create an database of the information and link it or
publish it so that it is searchable on or from our web site.
I know that this is possible using MS Access and FrontPage (both
of which we already have). I have only just begun to read up on
*how* to actually do it however. <smile> Before I get too far into
the nuts & bolts I thought I'd check and see if anyone else has
undertaken a similar project.
Is anyone maintaining a dynamically searchable database on their
website? What program(s) are you using to create/maintain the
database?
Any comments or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
