Developing ASP Pages For Display....

[JCrowe]

Hi,
I am running IIS 5.1 on a Windows 2000 Platform.
Developing a Business Information Site using
FrontPage2003 and Access 2000.

Just a couple of questions form those more experienced.

I developed the Access DBase to handle news articles
submitted from a FrontPage form. I provide the news
articles back to readers using a Database Return page
based on departments. When I created this I made a
database return page for wizard then created a pass thru
page for each department...example:

Retail Sales has a page that displays the Database
Results. Page is called retail.asp

I then created a page called retail_article.asp which
displays the when the link on retail.asp is clicked.

1st question: Was that the best way to do it ? I have 5
departments each with a "departmentName_article.asp"
page. Could I have simpy made 1 page called
article_diplay.asp and have all news show on that page ?

2nd Question: What is the max concurrent users an Access
Dbase will support over the internet/intranet ?

Thanks,
JCrowe

If you are not able to program your own ASP, I would suggest that you stick
with the method you've used with FrontPage. Color a little outside the lines
of the DRW, and you're talking real programming.

As to concurrent users for Access, good question. I'm not sure, but if your
site doesn't get heavy traffic, it probably won't be a problem.

I'm not sure you answered either question. I guess it
would depend on ones definition of "heavy traffic".
