Hi,

Basically I want to link an access database to a website. I was to be able to add things to the DB and delete. Are there any tutorials available for this?

You have two option for this, do you want to use ASP or ASP.NET? I would use ASP.NET if I was you it makes life so much easier.

http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/default.aspx?tabid=63#beginners - These videos are very good. You won't believe how much power you will have at your disposal using ASP.NET.

Ok try this tutorial it seems quite good - http://www.webwizguide.info/asp/tutorials/connecting_to_a_database.asp

Thanks mate. We have an example database on the uni's website. There's also a tutorial on converting certain tables into ASP files. The problem is when I do this and put them in the folder I've set up - I get the columns but then all the code is displayed (obviously there's an error). However when I use a test.asp file from the uni's site - that works (when using http://localhost/robert/test.asp).
