    Default Is there a better way to use coldfusion to accesswebpages?

    i currently am developing a website which uses coldfusion to access information
    from an MS access database

    I have put all the articles under a table in the database, e.g. within
    <body></body>

    so all info is e.g.<h1>Heading</H2>

    Then coldfusion will call those pages when needed,

    But they are stored in memo fields so if i want to edit the pages i have to
    copy the memo field into dreamweaver then edit it and past the code back.

    Which seems to much of a hastle and i doubt people would do the same, surely
    there is a better way to store a whole article in a database which means i
    could see what is actually on it? and edit ands add the layout?

    Any help would be great!

    There are a number of ways to do this. One way is to build a form that pulls
    all article titles from the database and displays each one next to a radio
    button. Select an article button and click "submit". The action page would
    retrieve the entire record for the selected title and displays the message
    body, creation date, author, etc. in form fields.

    You can now edit any displayed field, click the "submit" button and update the
    database. A variation of this approach can be used to create a new article.

    ahh ill try that!!

    How are pages usually updated, created and stored on a website.

    I understand with titles and fields

    but having large text and floating image, and links which will not always be
    in the same place. How do people normally do it?
