Question:
How to put a microsoft access form onto a website?
2010-04-03 16:39:24 UTC
Basically, i am creating a website. I have bought a website package but i know nothing of how to create a website (ive only made a really basic one before).
This time what i want is a form on the homepage whereby visitors ask questions by typing in their question and then this gets sent off to an email address. So like a 'contact us' service, not a forum. Although, this is probably possible using the website packages extras and whatnot but i also want to include things like drop down lists with various information.
To my knowledge, I have created a similar thing in Microsoft Access in a 'form' whereby people can select from a drop down list and enter information etc. Now this is the sort of thing i want on my website homepage - which will then send the information to an email address. Can anybody tell me how i could do this? - i can make the form on MS access easy enough, just getting it on the website and connecting it to an email is more difficult.

Websites are written in a markup language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). Creating a form is one of the most basic HTML features. For example, if I wanted to create a form with fields for name, email, subject, and message, I'd do this:





Name:


Email:


Subject:




Message:

Now, sending an e-mail, specifically, is a little more complicated. You'll have to learn a programming/scripting language like PHP or Microsoft ASP.NET. You can learn these at http://w3schools.com/ and http://msdn.com/ respectively.

In get entry to, there's a pattern database stated as Northwind investors (or the like). Pull it up & try how the types artwork. you will see there would nicely be countless tables used via a variety. you're able to have a table of shoppers linked to a table containing their orders, for occasion. The "hyperlink" is the shopper call or variety that looks in the two tables. you like a effortless field with the intention to hyperlink the tables at the same time. in case you place up your tables good, (and if I understand the question good) you're able to have the skill to do what you describe. the variety itself, is secondary to installation the tables and the links between tables. desire this enables!
