i'm beginning to feel stupid! all i want to do is have my tiny little simple registration form submit the info to microsoft access. how do you do that? 10 basic fields, name, company, phone, etc...the hidden fields and connection strings, et al is very confusing to me which i don't think it should be. which in turn frustrates me! i'm on xp pro and if my company having their own server means i'm not hosted than i'm not hosted. and i can access the server if need be. please help. thanks VERY much!!
