HTML from Access Database

[mihir.kotwal]

I am trying to execute HTML that is stored in an Access database. I can
enter in data into a field that has HTML in it, but it is displayed as
plain text and not executed.
Example:
Enter in <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
I do not see a link to Google, I see the actual code I have typed in.

Is there a way to execute HTML from an Access database on an ASP page?
I have tried converting DataGrid to GridView so I can add the
HtmlEncode attribute, but then I end up with nothing. I notice that
FrontPage makes reference to a bunch of files, but I can't understand
any of it.

Could you tell us exactly what your goal is? Asp will allow you to
dynamically create Html but it sounds like your trying to make a "database
driven" website where the data is a lot of hrefs?

Thanks,

I have it fixed. I am using ASP instead of ASP.NET in the results
wizard. I wanted to put HTML (such as for a hyperlink) and have it read
and executed by a database.
