I want to create a web page that users can enter text in a field and then they see it along with everyone elses' on that page, maybe a list below or something. I would like to do this with a simple access or excell table if possible. I know this is extremely vague but what would be the best way for one to set this up/ or where to look for instructions on doing so?
Thanks
Mike

You could use ASP linked to an access database. but i'm sure there are other options. try starting here and having a read

the art of asp .net magazine tutorial (http://www.netmag.co.uk/tutorials/default.asp?siteid=23&sectiontypeid=7&subsectionid=499&subsubsectionid=176&pagetypeid=1&page=2)

see what you think. read the ART of ASP part 1->6

It a basic forum tutorial but that might just do the job.

To do it in ASP, you dont need a DB
Use the Application() variable, that sets a variable everyone can see, and you can set it for how long it will be seen, or infinatly
