Access Database

Hi,

I am trying to insert an access database in Frnt Page
2003. I am trying to setup topics in a drop down menu form
then after choosing the topic wanted from the menu I need
it to bring up the answers from the databse to appear on
that webpage. How can I do that?

Do I have to put it on a server to do that. I was
intending to put it on a shared folder on the intranet.

Thanks
Dina

In order to use a database, you have to use ASP, which requires that the site is hosted under web
server and accessed via http://

Sorry, can't help with this, as I don't use Outlook or InfoPath. However in order to access the
database from the web you have to use ASP, which requires that the site is hosted on a Windows IIS
server and accessed via http, not a drive letter/path.

Must be running from a server if you want this web based.

If you just want to run Access reports then you should post to either the Access, Outlook or
InfoPath newsgroups on how to get them to work together from your desktop.
