Does anyone know how to create a page in dreamweaver and connect text boxes (ie... first name, last name, etc...) to a database. I insert a form text but there is no way (I can see) to direct it to a database.

Would it have to do anything with linking it to anywhere? Sorry, I'm also curious myself! :)

I think so. I am new to all of this so please bare with me. The problem is that when I make a form (choices for users to click or enter text) I can't seem to link that box with the part of my database.

Example:

Database includes:

First Name
Last Name
Email Address
D.O.B
Phone Number

Now, the problem is I can't seem to link these text/droplist boxes with my database so the information they enter get logged in. I am using godaddy which supplies the SQL part for me. I am trying to use ASP.Net (the best I can) and the database is uploaded to my FTP site corretly. My database is in MS Access.

fisrt thing you need to do is establish a database connection. nothing will work until you establish a connection. Once thats done then you can easily do all the other stuff. click on databases in dreamweaver then hit the + sign to establich the connection.
