How to populate a combo box on an ASP

by john.herndon . Updated 24 years, 6 months ago

I have been asked to write a browser based application so that our personnel can use wireless pocket PC’s to enter their test results, which will be written to the database in real time. I am using an Access 2000 database and Front Page. I have the application written and working (data is being written correctly and records updated properly). My problem is that I do not know how to populate a combo box in Front Page from this database. I can only get it to work if I hard code the combo box choices in the HTML code. The form I am designing contains several combo boxes, some of which need to be populated from Access data. What procedure (HTML code?) do I use to read data from fields in this database and populate the combo boxes? I normally program in VB. The HTML is new to me and I can’t seem to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
