I want to build a Directory... How what approach should I take

I would like to build a business directory like yellow pages but a whole lot smaller for my home town. How should a approach this?

Thanks much!

Probably as a web site, which means you need to ask at www.asp.net, instead of here.

|||Yes I'm sorry, I will be buildiing a site based on xhtml, css, asn some asp.net for the dynamic functions but as for the database, what approach should I take in starting to build the database, would it be possible to build a database with limit knowledge of building one?

Thanks!|||

Like anything, the less you know, the more you need to learn. I'll move this to the SQL Server forum where it belongs then. I would recommend however that your question is too broad. You're asking someone to design your database for you, if you're asking anything. I'd recommend just getting in there, doing some reading, coming up with a design and asking specific questions ( in the right forums )

I need to pass data entered /created on the first page to the next page and populate the next pa

Hello I have a project that uses a large number of MS Data access pages created in Access 2003 and runs on MS SQL2005.

When I am on lets say my client, (first page in a series) data access page and I have completed the fields in the (DAP), I am directing my users to the next step of the registration process by means of a hyperlink to another Data access page in the same web but in a linked or sometimes different table.

I need to pass data entered /created on the first page to the next page and populate the next page with some data from the first page / table. (like staying on the client name and ID when i go to the next page)

I also need the first data access page to open and display a blank or new record. Not an existing record. I will also be looking to creata a drop down box as a record selector.

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
I am some what new to data access pages so a walk through would be nice but anything you got is welcome. Thanks Peter…

YOu will have to establish some Session management, either completly on the client (cookies) or on the Server (with a session cookie) or via URL states. Look for Session Management and you will find many directions in google.
