With MS's ASP I can use frontpage to make a page that will call an excel spreadsheet or rich text document into a web page. Will the ASP lunarpages uses allow a web page to use a similar function? What about MySQL data?

Thanks

Hi,

We support mySQL databases, but not Access databases.

Here is the code to connect to a mySQL database from ASP:

connect_string = "Driver={Mysql}; Server=[server_name]; Database=[database_name]; UID=[username]; PWD=[password]"

where [server_name] is the name of the database server, [database_name] is the name of the database, and [username] and [password] are the username and password required for accessing the database.

I am not sure if ASP on lunarpages will let you take data out of an excel spreadsheet or a rich text document. The full documentation for the version of ASP lunarpages uses is here: http://developer.chilisoft.com/caspdoc/362docs/

Here is a list of the differences between Microsoft and Chillisoft ASP: http://www.lunarpages.com/faq/chili-ms-asp.html

You can also export from excel to a comma delimited format and use that.
