Combining MS Access with a Web Page

[Darrenb]

I am not too sure that I am posting this on the correct board, so feel free to tell me so!!!

I would like to have a web page that is able to query a Micro$oft Access database. I would ideally like the user to be able to type in a 'detail' in a text box, hit search, and then have the page return back and show all the other details along that row in the database. For example, the database contains a series of rows with peoples names, addresses, telephone numbers and date of birth. The only required box on the web page would be 'name'. The user enters a name in the box, clicks on search, and then the page displays that users address, telephone number, etc.

I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer, and if anyone can tell me what I need to do this, that would be a bonus too!!!

Many thanks

Darren

What it sounds like you need is either asp or coldfusion. You can do some of the things you want with Javascript but I don't recommend it. I would most likely post this question in the coldfusion or asp section.

I use coldfusion to query my databases on my website and it works well. The only problem is you need to understand coldfusion coding or asp coding. Take a look at those forums and I'm sure you will find your answer. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Many thanks for the advise. I thought I was going to have to use asp, or something similar.

Cheers!
