Hi Bertram,

You will need to see what database application your web server host offers with your hosting package. Some common databases are Mysql and Msql.

Once you have set you database up and created the tables you will be ready to link to it from your website. To do this you will need to choose a coding language for example php or jsp. You can then within dreamweaver write some code that connects your website to your database and then enters the data from the form in to a table.

hope this helps
David

Dreamweaver tip:

Testing a site

When developing a site, you have to cater to the widest possible audience allowing for users with different browsers and display settings.
Test pages to see how they look with:

- different display resolutions
- browser with graphics turned off
- many different browsers not just IE
- if possible different operating systems.
