As a beginner to ASP you can try the FP Database Results Wizard to display data from your DB
But IMHO you are better of learning ASP if you are going to use it at all
See
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp and
http://www.w3schools.com/ado/default.asp or for some examples see
http://www.asp101.com/samples/

|I like using the forum here when I'm in doubt because, eventually I can find
| a best answer. Having written out the problem, I can understand where my
| question is flawed to begin with. I should keep the HTML pages as they are,
| and use pages or scripts that require ASP support to work within the HTML
| pages.
|
| That means I could learn more about using ASP sub-routines to perform
| operations that the HTML acccessories FP uses for the table of contents and
| search engine function could be made to work in real time instead of having
| to rebuild them each time the database is updated.
|
| So now the question is what asp routines are easily integrated to perform
| the Table of Contents function and Search Engine function as well as other
| active relational operations?
