Hi. I'm at a stage in the development of various sites around here that I *need*
some sort of CGI interface to a database to manage files.
I'm not afraid of doing the work, but I need some pointers to how to get it
working.
Currently, my available tools are FrontPage 98, Microsoft IIS, and Access97.
Please don't tell me how great PHP/MySQL/ColdFusion/Apache/Perl/UNIX/Linux would
be. I would tend to agree, but they aren't viable options at this point in time
unless I can prove that I *cannot* use my available tools to create web
application/information pages.
Any URLs, names of reference books, etc. would be helpful.
