Database

Viewing Your Collected information.

You can easily view your collected information from your folder list. 

You can also view it as a web page. We'll cover that here.

Click Insert on the Menu bar, and choose Database, then Results. Below you see the dialog box that appears.

Click to see a large version.

Click the radio button titled "Use an existing database connection." You will see the name assigned to the data base you just created in chapter 1 of this tutorial.

Click Next.

Click the radio button titled "Record Source" , then  from the drop down list select Results.

Click Next.

You will see a listing of all the fields you created in your form for your information collection page.

Click Next.

From the drop-down list, select "Table - one record per row" 

You are presented with three check boxes:

• Use table border

• Expand table to width of page 

• Include header row with column labels
  

Then click the check boxes you want to use to display your page. I would suggest you check at least the bottom two.

Click Next.

On the final dialog box for the Database Results Wizard, you will be given the choice to either display each of the results individually or in groups. This is an entirely personal choice based on the type of info you are gathering, and how busy you expect it to be?

Make your choice and click finish.

As you create this simple data base, look at all of the other buttons and choices available in the assorted dialog boxes. With a little patience, you can teach yourself  how to create and maintain larger and more complex databases with FrontPage.
