Building an article management system -- Part II

<< Go to back to part one

Welcome to part two of a four-part tutorial on how to build a basic article management system (kind of like a basic version of this web site!)!

Now that you've created a database (see part one), we will add several listings to this database as an example. Create several small one-sentence "articles" with a title and all the other necessary information.

If you are using access, make sure you go to "Tools" on the menu bar, then down to "Database Utilities", and click on "Compact and Repair Database". After you've created your samples, make sure that the database has been saved, then exit.

Now that we've created a database, we will create the ASP file that will access the database and display the "articles". Create a file called "article.asp" somewhere on your web server and move the articles.mdb file that you created earlier to the same directory as article.asp.

We will commence the coding in part three.
