Using Access with FrontPage

[tbearcuddles92543@yahoo.com]

Hi. I'm creating a business advertising directory website for all 50
states using FrontPage and Access. I am really not understanding how
to mesh the two together. Some entries in the directory will just be
company name, address, phone number. Some will have a basic ad, some
will have premium ads that have graphics and link to another page with
descriptions, links to web sites, emails, etc.

I need to have search capability on the website using the Access
database by state, state & city, zip code, company name, or company
category. Different ways. When the results are shown there will be a
combination of entries like I stated upbove. I am really confused.

Am I going to need to know SQL or VB or something to be able to
accomplish this? Is this something that is too complicated for the
Access/FrontPage interaction? I would really appreciate some advice
and guidance if possible.

Thank you.
Mary

Re: Using Access with FrontPage

Front Page 2002 and 2003 have a Database Interaction Wizard that implements
simple database features. Earlier versions have a Wizard that only allows
display. More extensive interactions can be accomplished by adding Active
Server Pages (.asp), but yes, that requires some additional skills.

There are both USENET and Microsoft-sponsored newsgroups for Front Page and
for ASP. The Microsoft sposored newsgroups can be downloaded from the free
news server, news.microsoft. com or accessed via an online interface that is
hyperlinked at http://office.microsoft.com. You can access the USENET
newsgroups through whatever mechanism your ISP provides, or via third-party
software.
