help create simple database search

[web ignoramus]

I need serious help creating a simple database search.

I want users to be able to enter a keyword to search an MS Access database of terms. The results can be displayed as a simple table.

Please understand, I am a total ignoramus when it comes to code and development. This is the most sophisitcated task I've ever tried to do. My experience in web develpment so far, has been maintaining a basic bulletin board style site.

and I'm using Front Page to do this.

Can you explain this keeping in mind my ignorance of most things web or point me to a site that can help me find directions.

My Google search was not helpful.

Thanks.

You can either:

1. Get yourself familiar with ASP programming. You'd probably need a book on the subject, but you can find lots of code samples here
http://www.asp101.com/samples/

2. Get yourself a web development tool that generates the database code for you, much the same way that the FrontPage WYSIWYG editor hides the need to get into the detailed HTML. Dreamweaver MX, for example, though it's pricey and still needs a bit of technical know-how.

3. Post your requirements somewhere like here

You will get lots of responses from offshore companies willing to do the work for you at very low hourly rates.

Thankx for the response Johnalphaone! You are my hero!

I found a sample code to do a simple database search on asp101.com.

You Rock!
