Hi,

This is a relatively simple problem that uses the basics of database integration with asp.

I would suggest creating a resume table in your database, split into fields such as Name, address, previous companies, and perhaps a list of key skills/words in order to make searching the database easier.

Its too lengthy to go through all the details of actually accessing and searching the database here so i suggest you try and learn the basics of working with asp/access from a book/tutorial and ask here again when you need help with a specific problem.

Good luck!

I would suggest using a more powerful database, such as MySQL. www.vzio.com

Just a question I have about this whole thing.. Is there a component that would allow you to read the contents of a word document which could be used to store it into a database for indexing?

This in my opinion, if one existed, would be the perfect solution. This way, people could submit their resume's in Word format and in addition to being emailed as an attachment, could also be indexed into a DB.

Cheers,

too much for the end user..

 

[snowboardr]

It isn't to much for the end user, all it is, is copy and paste. You could consider reading the whole word document, which can be done with ASP. www.vzio.com

If you compare it to the process at Monster, it is much shorter for the user, a bit more tedious for the developer to search for all the keywords, but...
