You wouldn't link it as such; you need to specify it in your form.

i.e. <form name="yourform" action="post" method="yourfile.asp">

......... fields ........

</form>

where "yourfile.asp" is the script that processes the form data to the
database.

Go to form properties, choose "Other" then go to "options" type in the URL
to the asp page, and choose the action:"yourfile.asp" and method: "Post".

OK/Apply out of all those dialogues.

Publish the page and test.

To make it simpler try using the database results wizard or database
interface wizard.

Thanks very much for this, Just got my 2003 FP so see how it goes.
As for ASP not working on UN Is there any other way to resolve this using
some other form of file extension for form or do I need to go back to a NT
platform
Thanks Kevin

To get ASP pages to work reliably, you need to be on a Windows server.
