Upload "web and connected database" to intranet

T

Tom

After some struggle, I finally was able to create a form that allows me to
submit its data to an Access database.

As of now, this only runs on my localhost though. For additional testing,
I attempted to upload both webpage (and form) plus its underlying database
to my ISP. Turns out though that my ISP doesn't support ASP and Access.

I now need to upload this "package" to my organization's intranet. I don't
have any network admin rights. However, employees utilize a "Web
Environment Service" which allows them to very quickly "create a site"
(pertaining to their e.g. team) and upload all types of documents.

Here's what I'm faced with:
1. no network rights (but I could use -- maybe -- this Web Environment
Service)
2. Frontpage 2003 is not installed on the organization's network (on my home
PC, I used FP 2003 for creating the form and making the connection to the
database)
3. only public drives are available to employees (I don't think we have
access to servers)

Given my situation (points 1 to 3), is there an easy way to place the form
somewhere on e.g. a "team's site" (which is still part of the intranet)?
And then somewhere overwrite the database connection (if it's hardcoded
anywhere in the INC files).

Or do I need to have Frontpage 2003 installed and somehow obtain temporary
network admin rights (doubt that would happen) in order to upload the
package?

I'd appreciate any feedback... if there's no solution (given the
limitations) maybe I could get at least some pointers as to what I need to
tell the "technicians" (who may not be familiar with Frontpage 2003).

Thanks,
Tom

FP for your case it's just an HTML editing tool. You don't need FP on
the Web environment. You can upload your files there any way you want.

However for your FORM, ASP page and Access DB to work and itnterface
correctly. The "web enfivronamnt" must be capable and enabled to run ASP
pages. In addition, the folder where you will place the Access DB file
must have Modify permissions for the "internet account".
