Alright, I've got this vision in my head, and I think its possible, but I'm having trouble getting it off the ground.
I have a database that needs to be populated by users from around the world. The users that are to populate the database will do so from an online form. I would like to be able to send a link to each specific user that will take them to a standard data entry form that will have their personal information already in the appropriate fields so they do not have to fill it out again.
Currently, my Access 2000 DB is published on the web via a Data Access Page. This allows users to input information, but they have to complete all of the fields and it is very impersonal. I've noticed that there really isn't a lot of support literature out there for DAPs, so I've tried to look into other methods of making my vision come true. ASP seems like it might be the way to go, but I don't have access to an IIS compliant server, so that's a no go.
Are there any suggestions on how I might be able to fulfill all of my requirements with Data Access Pages? And if not, or if that sounds ridiculous, is there a specific protocol/language/scripting tool that might work?
Thanks very much!
