mdb at geocities

[jackbee]

I have a site at geocities and I thought it would be easy to put a user form on it and dump the replies in an mdb on the site.

I followed the instructions in an access2000 book and tried again with a frontpage book, but although I got the mdb up at the site, and used the form a few times, no data was sent to the mdb.

I tried a few things and managed to get stuff emailed to me, and also put in a text file, but no luck with the mdb.

Anyone out there got some simple steps to follow, or perhaps some vb code to solve this, as I know it can't be that tough.

Thanx

Problem 1: Geocities does not allow write access to your directory from the users computer. Therefore when they view the page, there is no way for them to write to the mdb so therefore no data can be put in it.

Problem 2: I cannot give you a code snippet to do the above for exactly that reason. Do implement database access you need to have some sort of server side interaction such as ASP or PHP. Geocities does not provide this.

Got to

http://www.asp4free.com for free hosting that support asp and databases.

You can also search for hosting +asp as there are many other free sites out there that support db access
