Shopping Cart development

[jay-em]

I need to develop an online store. Does anyone know how to develop a store of sorts that will deduct items as they are "ordered" ? I guess I will start with a .xls, import into Access, and have it pull from that table? Then what?
Thanks

Well.. For one.. Figure out how you are going to do the payments... And make sure that everything is firmly secured... Once you figure this all out..

Then making a shopping cart can be handled by many different ways. You could have an internal database that holds all part prices.. And then each price as you add in or delete out will take the proper price in the field that's being changed.. I'd suggest definily using a query string line handler that figures out actions and views and then reviwing them all in one single page...

That sounds like a plan... I just found out that this will be free confidential inventory... Basically, a password protected website that allows people to "reserve" furniture. I will not have to worry about method of pay. It is IMPERATIVE that I keep a real-time track of inventory.
FrontPage, Access, and ????

I am a rookie in this field, so any help is definately appreciated

If you are using Frontpage you might have aproblem then.. I dunno, I personally hate Frontpage.. Especcially if someone plans on creating a system like this...

You'll basically need to know some PHP.. :) A good bit actually.. So either read some stuff on this site or go to www.php.net and start reading the manual.
