Can you interact with a database through Front Page with no ASP?

I'm in the process of helping to build an intranet website around an Access databasewith FrontPage 2000. However, the server doesn't support ASP, PHP, or anything except Front Page server extensions.

What I'm looking to do is:

1)read data from a web form and store it in the database

2)generate reports based on user selected options

Can this sort of thing be done with only the server extensions?

Thanks...
 
if you create any websites with front page server extensions, then the asp generated by front page, is usable, front page server extensions is basically a form of asp.
as far as i know anyway
 
As far as I know, if you are running a WindowsNT (latest patches) or 2000 Server with FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions then you are ready-to-go with ASP, as that's part of IIS4 and 5.

If you are running Apache then I think you need Chili!Soft ASP.

In either case, ASP is what FP uses for most of its Database stuff. Alternatively, perhaps you can try XML with Access 2000.
