databases or spreadsheets

[diceman]

Hi i run a local snooker league and have designed the website that has been
running for 4 years now. It has all the results and stats on and as an update
i am wanting to incorporate a database of all the players and their results
of each game and who they played. I can put all the information on a
spreadsheet and hyperlink to the page, but what i cant do is make it go to
the selected club or player within that page. Is there anyway i can do this
and if so any information regarding how this acheivable would be very much
appreciated
cheers

If your site is hosted on a Windows server then use an Access database
together with .asp pages produced using the Database Interface Wizard
and/or Insert->Database Results

If hosted on Unix server then use PHP and MySQL to do the same thing.
Trying to use a spreadsheet is possible, but difficult.

You could export the spreadsheet to a HTML file, then bookmark every
player and club - whatever you use for selecting players and clubs will
then use a hyperlink to point to the required bookmark.

Thankyou Ronx

What you say makes sense to me and i am going to have a stab at doing it
later and will let you know how i get on. Thankyou once again for the
information.
