ASP is the older serverside scriptlanguage ASP.NET is the newer version ADO is what's used to talk to the database AJAX is used to have the client call some serverside function Do you have a webserver that's capable of running ASP.NET pages? You can verify by executing a small test-aspx :) I are Troll :suss:

Most web controls support data binding in one form or another. If you choose to use the controls this way depends on if it suits what you want to accomplish. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

Hi Use square brackets if you have spaces in column or table name or if column name is a SQL Keyword For eg., SELECT [ID],[Product Name],Price From [Products of ABC] Harini

Dear blitz2bleach, 1. Regarding your Count(*) problem : Just check your MS access editor or what you say MS access Quesry designer you can get the Count function somewhere in Function(s) 2. API is nothing but Application Programming Interface. Just method and properties of class that you can use while developing an appliation. Thanks, Arindam D Tewary

It looks like some sort of issue with the path to the Access database that you are using. As far as I'm aware the Server.MapPath works on the same file structure as your web pages would. Eg ../database/userId.mdb instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Joy.PHOENIX-1D0486C\Desktop\userId.mdb. So put your database either in the root of your site or in a folder, named database, within the root like I have in my example path.

well thank you..and the password i put is just a sample..im not that stupid..thanks again...:)
