SWS - 100% newbie

[songws]

Hi there,

I am a total newbie here. I need to put a database on the webpage and
thus I am evaluating Dreamweaver MX. I have borrowed some books and
did some reading and found that most books will refer to Coldfusion MX
or SQL Server.

Can I use MS Access (it is for intranet) without using server
applications like Coldfusion MX or SQL Server?

By the way, what is the best book that I can buy bearing in mind that
I don't have knowledge in SQL Server, Coldfusion and Dreamweaver.
Must I learn up Coldfusion or SQL Server first??? I am hoping that
learning and being productive isn't too painful here!!!

Regards,
SWS

First Access and SQL Server are databases and you use Cold Fusion to
interact with them - i.e. retrieve data, add data, delete data etc. Access
is fine if you are not expecting much traffic. Use sql server if there is
going to high levels of traffic. Since you dont have experience in any of
this you have a lot learning to do. I'd start by looking at the help files
in dwmx. Also consult the articles on Macromedia's site. Also you can try

Those are a bunch of links with many relating to dynamic sites

Access by itself doesnt have any web use. To let a user interact with access
vai a webpage you need cold fusion or some other server side language. Yes
access can be used as a standalone program on the machine that its installed
on.
