Dynamic Data

T

Turchan

Can you have dynamic data with frontpage? One thing I would like to be able
to do is create a sort of template in frontpage that would pull info out of
an Excel spreadsheet.

Yes, but to do this, you have to configure a "database" connection to a named
range in your Excel worksheet.

In practice, however, that approach is fragile, because the "database"
driver has to make so many assumptions about datatypes. Using a real database
like Access or SQL server usually works much better.
