Integrating web forms with a database

[jcollins]

Hi guys.

Brand new to the forum, and still new and feeling vulnerable about web design.

I have been asked to design a website for a startup business. And one of the most important aspects of this business is going to be having people input information about themselves (name, address, misc data) and being able to integrate that easily into a database, say Microsoft Access. I don't know anything about SQL yet, so if this can be done with Access I'm much more proficient with working with Access.

Anyone know of a way to take user data from a form and convert it (integrate it) into an Access database? I'm assuming of course that all my fields need to match up exactly.

Please help if you can, and thanks in advance.

That is pretty standard. I guess if you want to stick to MS Access databases you ought to find ASP convenient, which allows you to use Access ADO databases directly. You can do so with other languages like Perl or PHP as well, but may not be as convenient.

You can also program active server pages in Jscript which is basically javascript, if you are more used to that syntax.

Dave you should have been around when COBOL was popular...

What about PHP, it wouldnt be that bad either and thats pretty user friendly. Just remember to find out how to connect to your ADO datasets. Its really much easier than you think it is. Just take a deep breath!
