Yeah that might work but you could open msaccess and let it generate a page for you so you can examine the source of it.

if no one knows, then can you recommend a place where i can get help

I can make one for you if you switch to MySQL... :P
Or do you just need help with the concept?

[asgsoft]

Just re-create a new db in MySQL with the phpMyAdmin over CPanel, the phpMyAdmin is very easy tool to use! If your not sure about anything ask and everybody will help you...

PS: Throw away msaccess :D

To access phpmyadmin (the best way run use MySQL IMO) go to this url http://hostmatrix.org:2082/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/index.php and enter your cpanel details. Then you can create a databases and such. Also it is the best db for php supproted work =D

Reasons to use MySQL instead of MicroSoft Access Fast and reliable
Has a dudy GUI in the name of phpMyadmin
Is very easy to use with PHP
Is just far better for internet work.

Hope that helps.
