I have a program that lets users add to an existing story by inputting info into a field such as this. now, I know about the database, just don't know how to create the input page for the user, and then establishing one for it. OS System XP, ftp upload. if anyone could tell me step by step, it would be greatly appreciated.

Dreamweaver comes with all this info included.

Open up your Help menu, goto Tutorials or search help index.
Really logical to understand, no jargon, and will show you exactly what you aksed.

but basically its as simple as.

> create a connection to db on page
> create a form for user input
> add the insert to db server behaviour

all of the above can be done using dreamweaver alone and require no in-depth knowledge of coding to get it done. Good Luck

Regards,
Dave
