Microsoft Access files on a dreamweaver website?

Question

I'm trying to build a web site for my new company and, I have set up a data base in access so employees can log in and out to keep track of there sales. What is the process for incorporating this file on to my web page??? Help?

I have cold fusion so how do i import my access file in there then, on to dreamweaver?

Answer 1

You can't access a database with HTML alone. You need some sort of middleware such as ASP, Cold Fusion, or PHP. Depending on the solution you choose, the answer will differ.

Dreamweaver is just an editor. It makes writing HTML code easier, but it won't do your job of need analysis for you.

Figure out which solution you want to go for, which is limited by your choice of server / host, THEN you can figure out how to access that data.

ADDITIONAL INFO

You need to setup the Access DB as a Cold Fusion Data Source in the CFADMIN config. Once you confirmed you are pulling the right tables in CFML, then start adding CFML tags to make your webpages dynamic.
