Display records on a web page auto-magically ??
Not sure how I would go about doing this, but is it possible to set up codes on a web page such that a particular record (just one field really) is displayed without user intervention? I guess I would need to make some sort of call to DB file. Ideally I'd like to be able to modify the information in the database rather than hand edit the page all the time ... much easier!

If some other method/software/etc is required for this (dunno if I have to go out and start learning server-side stuff!?!) ... then any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Ease and minimal expense - okay, FREE, I've got no money for this! - solutions preferred. Smile

It will require the use of SSI -- server side includes -- to put data on a static html page. I don't know SSI myself, but there is lots of information here about it.

My suggestion is that you first do a search of the DBMan Discussion Forum for SSI. Read what you can there and if you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.
