Dynamic Web Page Content Search Within My Site

[Melodie]

I am trying to create a multiple search field page to provide my site
visitors with a results hyperlink to three linking web pages displaying their
own dynamic content within my site. (Probably didn't word that well- forgive
my lack of experience). I am using FP 2003 (the site was originally designed
in a different program) and I have designated on three of the pages within my
site, the areas of dynamic content (originally created as static pages).
From what I gather, I will need to use a database to pull from (I have
Access 2000 on my computer), but I'm not sure which is best to use for my
needs.
Basically, in order to finish my site, I need to figure out how to create a
multiple field search or form type page to pull up a results link that will
connect three pages with dynamic content.
For what it's worth, I have yet to decide on a web hosting service which
could be a lot of my problem. I currently have my site posted on a
verizon.net page now.
Thank you, in advance, for your help and suggestions.

Find a host that supports Databases and server side coding
The only tools in FP that do it w/o addins are the use of the Database Results Wizard
(using Access the FP SE on a Windows server)
- neither of which Verizon supports
- so you would need a host that supports the FP SE and Access

See FP help on Databases

Thank you for answering Stefan.
Do you know anything about a search page that utilizes multiple fields to
pull from said database? I would like for someone to be able to type in first
name, last name, city and state to come up with one results link to pull up 3
connecting pages of dynamic contact for that person.
I would like the site visitor to be able to find who they're looking for
even if the only know the person by a maiden name or another married name and
would prefer to narrow down the results as much as possible by doing this.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks again, Melodie
