web database

[stevep]

I would like to add a database of my dealers on my website that is selectable
by State. What is the program that will do this best? I am using FrontPage
2003.

The program that will do this the best is the one you can use and can
work with your web server?

What kind of database is your dealers list? What type of web server are
you or your host using?

...PC

If your website is hosted using a Windows server ASP or ASP.NET will be used
to write the program. If your website is hosted on a Linux server PHP will
probably be used to write the program. Maybe Java.

Since your using FrontPage you can use it to generate some push button
monkey code that will allow you to manually enter data into a database and
then display data on a web page but be advised Microsoft hired a real stupid
monkey and once you start to feed it the monkey will jump all over the room
and sh!t on the floor.

You should hire a web developer to create a database for you and write a
query that will allow visitors to select the state from a DropDown ListBox
which will send the query to the database and return a page formatted all
nice with support for paging. Aside from building the database this has
become very easy to do using ASP.NET.

Hi Steve,

Within FrontPage 2003 is the database results wizard that can be used to accomplish this without any programming experience.

Insert | Database | Results

It is in Excel format to start but I could easily convert it to Access or
something else. It is a Windows server.

Best to convert it to Access and then you can use the DBRW
See http://spiderwebwoman.com/resources/dbrwtipsandtricks.asp
