Help with simple form linked to database

49 New Member
Good Day All!

I have a basic understanding of html/asp et cetera. I am wanting to create an html form/interface that allows a user to enter, for example (first name, last name, donation amount in dollars). Once the user clicks "submit" button, I want that information to be stored into a database (preferrably MS Access 2007). This is where I begin to get clueless.

I can build the interface/form using VWD 2005 (asp), using textboxes for input and a button for submission. I have also built a very basic Access database with fields for firstname, last name, donation). I am having trouble linking the two together for seamless operation. This should be a simple task but I am being frustrated by it.

Any help, examples or resources are greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Mike

Let me know how it goes,

I thought I was starting to get a handle on Access, until I tried doing something useful...now I'm stuck. I have a DB with two tables - to keep it simple I'll say that one is an Employee File (Employees), and the other is an Address File (Addresses) linked by SSN. I've set Addresses as a Lookup Table - If the user starts typing in the SSN it should pull up the Employees records. I'm getting stuck in the Data Entry form. When I type in...

Hi, I'm trying to design a simple database in which I can keep track of the amount of time my 5 technicians spend on various jobs. At the start and end of each particular job (could be 5 minutes to several hours), they punch a time clock. So, at the end of the day/week/month I have a boat load of time cards with their hours for each job, which I enter into an Excel spreadsheet. I'm pretty good with Excel, but know that there must be...

Hi all-- Does anyone have any insight as to how I might create a search form that allows a user to select criteria based on any related table in the whole database. The search form I have now only allows me to filter based on variables in a single table.

I'm driving myself crazy with a problem in trying to translate a query written for Access to that for SQL server. I would think that I would use a trigger, but am not sure how to set it up. We have a database that manages bookings in four banquet halls. It was running in an Access database, but two years ago, I migrated it to SQL server. In the access database I used VBA to check to ensure no duplicate bookings. I wanted no dup...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
