How do I program an online database search and checkout... - 3/3/2001 15:48:00
Okay. I have searched high and low and I can't get this to work.I am making an online database for the company I am working for. I have a table that I made in Microsoft Access 2000 that I imported to FrontPage 2000 and that is made up of all the software my team has. What I have to do is make a webpage that allows a user to type in a name of a product and show a page that has search results displayed in a table form that it got from searching the database. I also need to develop a system so a certain list of users can select or type their username in and a password and then click on that software they searched for and check it out. By checking out, I mean that when they submit their username and password, they change the database a bit. This way, when another user performs a search, the user sees the general information on the results table like "Software Titl," "Publisher," "Version," "Platform," "Serial#." and another column that I need to know how to program that shows who has what software. In summary, please inform me how to do the following things with great detail:
1. Program the search function to search the database.
2. Display results.
3. Develop a checkout system that I described above. If someone could help me out with this, I would GREATLY appreciate it. Gandalf ------------------

For the search and display, check out my pages here :www.outfront.net/spooky/ For the other detail, you are probably requesting more than I have space to type ![]("http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/ubb/smile.gif") You definitely wont accomplish what you need without a form of scripting language available to you. Some good knowledge of asp will be needed. Control of users may be a seperate system (like the Spooky login) ------------------

Okay, first things first. Can you help me out with the task of displaying search results? I can get it so that when I click submit, it links to the page where the results are supposed to be, but nothing shows up. All I get are column headings.Keep in mind I am totatlly new at this and I have to get this done. Please help a frustrated person. Gandalf ------------------

I have not uploaded the files. Does that matter? I am trying it locally on a browser. Should I upload it and let you see it? What do I upload? The database, the main page, and the search results page? That's all there is that I'm working with. If I ever get this part solved, then I'm gonna have to ask you (if you don't mind) how to develop a checkout-type system with it.But first things first. Let's figure out how to show search results.
