Sending Form Data to an SQL database

Does anyone know how to send a form generated in Frontpage 2003 to an SQL
database hosted on the server?

It depends on what server side language you want to use to read the form and
enter the data into sql

I am not certain. I am very new to website design and only know that I am
using Frontpage to design the site on a Linux operating system with Frontpage
extensions installed.

I have created a survey (using a frontpage form)and want to automatically
populate the database I created on My SQL version 5.0.67-community-log. So
that when my viewers hit submit on the form it is automatically sent to this
database. I am guessing this must be possible but I have spent two days
trying to find out how with little luck thus far.

I have been able to get the form submitted to myself via email in various
formats. I also created a database in Access to receive the information but
my servers do not accept Access.

Hope someone can help me. Many thanks in advance

On Linux servers you will need to use PHP for server side code (if you host supports it)
- Google "using PHP and My SQL"

Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to follow the Kiss route as I am a
total beginner and export my results to excel as this looked rather
complicated and the volume of responses currently dont warrent the investment
of time it would take to do this.

Maybe later when I have more experience I will try again. Thanks for your
help.
