Connecting MDB to web lookup - ASP / Active Server Pages

7 New Member

My friend has a database that he wants to put online so his partners can lookup the code when they need to. We actually have no idea where to start as we have minimal knowledge of the web. What he wants to do is ask the user amount he wants to invest and what break down he wants and what type of investment the user wants. After clicking the search, the code will appear based on the input. An update button is also available for him and his partners to enter new codes when they want to.

The layout will be something like this:

Amount: UserInput
Breakdown
SP: UserInput
TE: UserInput
BC: UserInput
MC: UserInput
Type: <--This can be a scroll down button since there are few choices.

Search<-- button
Update<--button
Code: <--This is where the result will appear.

I have managed to design the form in html but have no idea as to how I can make it 'talk' to the database. I read about asp being able to do this. I also read about netobjects and cfm but they seem too technical for me. I hope somebody here can help.

I want to create a web lookup that will display the code after hitting the SEARCH button based on the info entered. A view of the page looks like this.

How do I go about doing this? The database is MS Access. Please help.

Yes, this is all doable with asp. The big question is what server are you using? ASP is supported by microsoft's IIS server, whereas most other servers do not support it. There are other possibilities for every server out there, so figure out what server you are going to use and I'll offer suggestions.

currently Apache is the first choice for servers, but apache doesn't support asp. IIS will work great.

Silly function call lookup stuff?

by: Lucas Lemmens | last post by:

Dear pythonians, I've been reading/thinking about the famous function call speedup trick where you use a function in the local context to represent a "remoter" function to speed up the 'function lookup'. "This is especially usefull in a loop where you call the function a zillion time" they say. I think this is very odd behavior.

Good practice for lookup tables?
