Web Form

[Steve]

Can anyone show me how to create a webform of about six fields and a submit
button that when clicked appends the data in the fields to a Microsoft Access
database table on a network.

Thanks for all help!

William,

Thanks for responding!

Excuse my dumb question, what is required to be installed on a server to be able
to run Asp? Is Asp special software?

Thanks,

Steve

The server must either be:

* Microsoft IIS; or

* Apache with mod_perl enabled and the Apache::ASP Perl module installed.

Yes, but as the O/P was a MS-Access question I suspect he needs a Windows
(IIS) server or perhaps a different RDBMS.

Re-reading the O/P - it seems this could be an intranet issue. IIS is
trivial to install/set up on any NT4/5 server - assuming you have the
necessary admin rights.

William,

So are you saying that an install of IIS will include whatever is necessary to
run ASP code? Even dumber question, can you buy ASP in a box and install it?

Thanks,

Steve

Besides some attempts to clone ASP, IIS is the only thing which can run
ASP. And you can buy IIS in a box.

Like Sun's version (used to be called Chili!Soft, now Sun ONE Active Server
Pages). That's what our host uses (on a Linux box, of course).

IIS is the only thing which can run ASP. And you can buy IIS in a box.

It even comes included with various flavours of Windoze.

yep

Most usefully, it comes in the box with Win2k Server and Win2k3 Server.
There is an free Option pack for NT4.

Forget the *nix implementations if you need ASP to manage an Access
database.
