I have tried many a tutorial for databases but I just dont get it.

If I have Microsoft Access, I create a table in there and then I want to have an html form that a user fills out. When they submit the info goes into the database record.

I guess what i am looking for is the code to put in the html to post the info to my database. I've tried searching, I have a strong feeling it's out there but I'm trouble finding it.


Thanks SO MUCH for ANY help.

I can't see from your post if you know this so I apologize beforehand :)

In order to get input from a HTML Form into an Access database you need a server that allows ASP (or PHP? I'm not sure if PHP can handle Access).

There's a tutorial on Kirupa that explains how to post from Flash into a Access database. If you replace the Flash part with a plain HTML form you should have a solution :)
