Complete Idiot calling all intelligent lifeforms

Hi all, I run several contact websites. One of them is www.ramc.org.uk - they used to fill in a form and results emailed to me. I then manually copied and pasted into page on server. Very tiresome.

I was hoping with sql express i could create a page where they enter there details into the database after verifying details via a link..... Then as the new details are added they would be displayed on the contacts page in alphabetical order.

Is this really possible or even feasable.

Cheers, your all stars. Mark

Yep, almost all websites where you enter data have the data entered into a database of some sort. The data is usually entered through the webpage.|||

Yes it's possible but it will take some code. My experience is in useing Visual Studio, it can be written in Visual Basic.Net, C# or any other language that will run in Visual Studio. On the web page you would create the form and bind the fields to a SQL database. When the user clicks the submit button on your page the data would be stored in your database. Look for someone with some Visual Studio and SQL experience. It's shouldn't to to hard.

Visual Studio and SQL are all Microsoft stuff. Some people do the same thing using Linux, PHP and MySql.

|||Thanks for your help guys. I need to start looking for a 12 yr old who can do it for me. I'm limited to html. I was hoping i could just link the web page to database then results page display the data. Cheers.|||

Simple usage is not overly complex.

I suggest you visit www.ASP.NET. Under the large GREEN #3 [Learn ASP.NET], there are options for:
