Whoever can help,

I am trying to build a page that will have a form that a user will select from and click submit. On this form, I want to have a combo or list box (Looking for a recommendation as to which would be better for me) which will automatically populate with data from a table from an Access DB. The problem is that I am uncertain as to how to set up this form so that each one of these functions takes you to a different page? Would I be able to define this in the access table? The biggest problem is that I CANNOT use ASP style pages because for demo purposes, there cannot be any kind of server technology.

Let me know if there are any other questions, and thank you in advance.

If you want to be able to connect and pull data from a database you have to use some kind of server side scripting such as ASP or PHP. You can't do this with client side scripting.
