jsims -> FP & Access: Handling daily content changes (3/12/2001 17:41:00)

Anyone have any good systems for using FP and Access to post new material on a regular/daily basis to a site? A client wants a simple way to post news stories or press releases to their site, sometimes on a daily basis. Rather than have them edit the site in FP (where they could easily mess other things up), I'd like to set up a system that allows them to upload new content to the Access database (via a data access page) and then have page automatically created by ASP to spit out the latest list of headlines (which are hyperlinks to the full text). What's the best way to store full text pieces like this and integrate it into the database?

Thanks!

Hi Jim,
If I read your question right, then large text fields like this would normally be saved as a "Memo" field.

Another way to consider is to use "include" files. For instance . . .

<!-- #include file="dailynews.txt" -->

So, each day they download the file dailynews.txt to the server, and it is automatically picked up by the asp page that you have previously written around it.

All the best
