Access 97 database and Frontpage 2000

L

Lisa Howden

Greetings all.

I am in the process of creating a database and forms in
access 97 that I then want to publish to frontpage 2000.

Does anyone have any experience doing this? What
parameters should I set for the .asp files? Is there a
special way to set it up in Frontpage?

Thanks in advance,
Lisa

From one standpoint, this is easy. You just add the .mdb
file to a likely folder in your Web site, such as /fpdb/.

The hard part is that none of your Access forms and
reports will work. Web pages are simply too different from
Windows forms. So, you'll need to reprogram everyting
using Save To Database in Forms Properties, the Databae
Results Wizard, or ASP/ASP.NET code.
