ASP Link back to Access database

T

Trvl Orm

Hello,

I am having great difficulty in these asp scripts, using VBscript and
JavaScript.

I have 4 files that all need to be linked together.

The first file "Books.html" - needs to search for a Book title, author
or ISBN number from a Access database called "Books.mdb". When the user
clicks Submit from the "Books.html" file (after inputting info in a text
box and clicking the required box to define Title, Author or ISBN), the
information is then filtered through "Books.asp" file and
"CreateTable.asp" file.

<PLEASE SEE MY FILES and coding below this message, didn't know how to
attach files - files below: Books.asp; Books.inc; Books.html and
CreateTable.asp. Not shown is Books.mdb Access database file.

My problem is this: I cannot get the script in the Books.asp file to
only bring up certain information pertaining to that in my search box
from the "Books.html" file. What happens, is a) I get a error message
when I try and debug it or b) the full table comes up.

HELP !

I am using Abysse web server under http://localhost port8080.

Can anyone please help.. Any feedback most appreciated. My personal
e-mail is (e-mail address removed) for any step by step instructions you can
offer.

Thank you so much.

PS - yah, you guessed it, this is a URGENT request too. :)
