Shopping Cart in Access

I'm trying to update a shopping cart created using Microsoft Access in a website built with FrontPage. I can access the database and get into it, but i can't find anywhere to update the prices. The only thing that I can find is a list of items that people have added to their cart. The person that built this said that it was this file, and it was under "Items." That is where I have been going and this is all I have come up with. Any suggestions? I am not very familier with Access at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The prices could be anywhere - they aren't necessarily in the database, they could be coded into the website itself.
Obtaining documentation from the people who originally developed the site would help.

If you could post a link to the site, people may perhaps review the site for clues - but even to professional developers, the information isn't necessarily visible in the front end code.

Besides, if - despite having both the backend code and the database - you are unable to find the pricing mechanism yourself, you should probably look to hire professional help. Plunging in at the deep end of any subject can be exciting, but the cost should always be considered. If for example, you published incorrect prices, it's feasible you could be help liable to meet them.

Thanks Marc, I talked to the person that originally created this shopping cart, and he had used salescart extensions in frontpage. I'm not sure what we are going to do yet, either buy those, or give up ownership to that part of the website. That's up to the owners. Thanks for the input!

Ah, if the shopping cart is made from a FrontPage extension, perhaps the people in forum256 (Microsoft: FrontPage) can help. I'm not really much of a FrontPage user, so I don't know much about its architecture.
