Creating a Database InterfaceHow does this magic happen? As usual, FrontPage handles all the grunt work for youbut perhaps not in the way you've come to expect. A lot of the advanced features you've read about so far rely on FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Services to help them work correctly. The Database Interface Wizard works differently. FrontPage takes the choices you make in the wizard and actually writes a custom ASP or ASP.NET program to perform the tasks that you've specified. So really, when you use this wizard, you and FrontPage are working together to create an independent program your visitors can use to manipulate data. Note: The interactive data application created by the Database Interface Wizard works only on a Web server loaded with ASP or ASP.NET (Section 16.2.2.1). This feature won't work on a server that has SharePoint Services. |
