Perhaps this may hopefully give you some ideas:

Web Database Concept

http://www.bullschmidt.com/concept.asp

You and others can have access to a database hosted on the Web from any location that has a browser with an Internet connection.

The Web database concept makes sense if you and your people want to do work in various locations in or outside the office and still be "plugged" in.

For example you could have employees enter timesheets or have sales reps log their contacts. Or perhaps you'd like customers to be able to check the status of their orders online without having to call the company.

If you want a Web database, typically what would happen is that a database such as Access or MySQL (basically just consisting of tables) would be put on the Web.

Then "dynamic" Web pages (such as classic ASP pages which include VBScript, HTML, and/or JavaScript) would be created acting like the old desktop database's queries, forms, and reports to access the database - all hosted on a Web Server.

Dynamic Web pages are similar in many ways to regular HTML pages. But they are "live" because the user can read from and write to information in the database. An example where you can login and add, edit, or view fictional customers and invoices is at

Not all Web hosts will handle dynamic Web pages but many do. The Web hosts that can handle ASP pages usually have a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 operating system running an IIS Web server.

Here are a few good ASP sites:
o ASP101 Samples -

http://www.asp101.com/samples

o W3Schools ASP Tutorial -

http://www.w3schools.com/asp

o Microsoft VBScript Language Reference -

http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/default.htm?/scripting/VBScript/doc/vbscripttoc.htm

And the following newsgroup is good:
microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general

Or for a "quick and dirty" generic ASP open source solution to putting databases on the Web (often works well for the admin area of a Web site) that just requires setting up a configuration page for each table or query and uploading the database to the Web as long as there is an autonumber field in each table (and you'll probably also separately want to create login capabilities), perhaps try something like this:

Also this is interesting:

Feel free to play with this address site. It is here to help people understand how to use ASP to display and modify data in a database.

This is very basic and is designed to help those starting with ASP. In other examples we will get into more advanced techniques.

You'll probably find more resources doing a search on ASP and JScript (Microsoft's version of Javascript, and technically what is used when you write ASPs in Javascript).

Have a look at thread333-715844 for more info.

I have been working with ASP for about a year now and am fairly adept at adding/listing/editing/deleting information dynamically from the web to/from my database(s). More and more, I am being called upon to modify forms that use radio buttons and check boxes. I know this can be done dynamically using a loop in ASP to search through all of the records in a table and create the appropriate radio buttons/check boxes...but am having trouble creating one. Does anyone have a script I can look at?
