Help with simple form linked to database

[mturner64]

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

Look up AccessDataSource. Should do what you need.

Alternatively, we have two articles here on Bytes that show another method:
