I need help with HTML Forms

[hrp2171]

Hello,

I currently have this Word document which I'll be converting to an HTML Form. I'm familiar with creating the basic form objects for a web page. However, I want to add the capability for the contents of that form to be posted to either a database or a spreadsheet file. I would like to leverage the availability of an IIS server here in the office. I believe that would mean using ASP or ASP.NET, right? Also, if you guys know a good tutorial web site for creating forms and submitting data to a server, please post the links.

Thanks all,
Hector

It is not very difficult to do what you want with ASP. You need to make sure your ISP allows ASP. You will need some sort of database. I use Access to create a DB but there are others such a Oracle and MySQL.

Each item on the form would be matched to a field in a table you have created.

It may be best to start by going to w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp) . They have a prettyr good ASP tutorial. Also check out ASP101.com (http://www.asp101.com/) . They have a lot of great examples.

Get going and we'll help when you get stuck.

I was forced to figure out how to do the exact same thing recently, and most of the info to create and update a simple DB connection is out there and very easy to follow.

I used this site, which has some really nice info.
