I put a kinda database thing together on my website [http://www.shygar.com/historyofhorizons/story1.htm](http://www.shygar.com/historyofhorizons/story1.htm) (at the bottom) I know how to use access and excel to make the databases(im using frontpage, don’t crucify me) but I don’t know how to make my someone able to put new information to it on my website. So I was wondering, do I need years of study needed before I could fix that, or is the answer something relatively simple.

Asmodean,
It is relatively simple. Check out FrontPage help on how to create an Active Server Page (with a .ASP extension). You have to link your database to the page that will use it, including userid and password, if that’s the way you’ve set up your dbase. Sorry I don’t have time to give you links.

Try [Adding records to the database with ASP](http://www.stardeveloper.com/asp_addrec_1.asp). Some [others](http://www.aspin.com/home/tutorial/database/addrecor).
Most of these articles are generalized, hopefully your webhost has a message board where you can get more specific info.
