4450.0. "Webmaster" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Jayant Hardikar) Wed Feb 05 1997 16:15

The advantage of IIS3 is that active server pages can drive data from a
database (product descriptions/specs/charts/prices/images...) to create
dynamic pages. You change the database and the pages are updated - voila!

Now look at Lotus/Domino - you can create an Lotus has a authoring system so
that novice/non-tech content providers can fill in these 'templates' - and
voila - it shows up on the web. 

Question - I dont know SQL server at all.  Is it possible to easily create a
similar "authoring environment" where the content providers enter their
content in a friendly front-end which then becomes part of the database that 
drives IIS3?  Know what I mean?.... otherwise the content providers/html
editors would say - I'd rather cut and paste and add stuff in Front Page
directly in the html file rather than this database stuff that I know nothing
about.

All thoughts are very welcome.

Thanks

Jay

You can use ASP to enter data as well as read it.

I use Access to put data in the database.
