database with a html interface

[georgeous]

can I still request data dynamically from my database using html/asp if the database is stand alone. i.e without a web server, or do I have to have a static page linking to every product in my database??

By definition you need a web server to serve web pages. Web pages are HTML files. ASP is used to generate HTML files.

georgeous,

You can create an HTA app using html tags and such. THe HTA app uses vbscript and also allows you to connect to a database, open apps etc. You do not need a web server to run the HTA application. It just uses html tags to set up the interface. Check it out.

That was good idea about HTA app but a better solution is to load Windows 2000 NT on your system, build IIS server and work with Local Intranet
