Filemaker Database to asp

[PageFree]

A veritable novice here. I have FMPro 6 and wish to create an asp database that will be hosted on Windows. Ultimate would allow me to build my database in FMP6, upload it the Windows server and then be able to upload and download information accumulated there.

I know I may not even have the technical terms correct - and I apologize, this is all new to me.

I use GoLive6 to create my websites - I need help there too.

Anyone want to tell a novice where to begin reading, where to get the appropriate software and if this is even possible using this software/server configuration?

With the FMConnector it will be possible soon to connect FM-databases using ASP.

ztevekowsky@hotmail.com knows more about this. He has also some examples.

Does it have to be ASP? Or did that buzz word catch your novice ears?

I'm only asking to find out if you understand the differences between HTML and ASP... you may not need an ASP output and trying to add a needless layer of complexity into your project. FM Unlimited references the FM database, like ASP (usually through MS IIS) does its DB, and then spits out the result... a web page. When you get down to it, ASP and FM Unlimited essentially do the same thing: spit out a page that's HTML. ASP is dynamically loaded (meaning it pulls its info from the DB) same as FM Unlimited.

Hope that helps,
