Allowing users to enter, and later update, information via the web

[Julie]

I have used the Frontpage database wizard to create a form to allow users to
fill out an online application. I would like to know how to set it up so
that the user can locate and edit or update his or her record only. I'm also
wondering if there is a way that I, as the administrator, can export the
records from the Access database created by the wizard.

The site is hosted on a server with FrontPage extensions.

Any help would be most appreciated. If FrontPage isn't the best product for
this I would be open to recreating the form using some other product.

Thanks,
Julie

Beyond the capabilities of the DBRW
Will require hand coded ASP code using examples at say
http://www.asp101.com/samples/ and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=321439
You would need your DB to store the data and some credentials for your users to log in and retrieve their record

Thanks for your response, Stefan. It looks like I would have to be
proficient at programming to be able to do this on my own using FrontPage.
Do you think this would be easier if I switched to a server running
Sharepoint services and used the dataview web part? Do you have any
experience with that?

You would need to move to a server that is hosted under WSS and still do some hand coding

Okay, thanks. I'll try discern which would require the least amount of
brainpower.
