How do I do it? I saw a product called MySQL, which looks pretty good. I can probably figure out how to install that and make it work from the instructions. How do I get the data from the SQL server to the Web page. BTW, disk space is one thing I have plenty of. I have another 1GB drive sitting here that I scavanged out of an old SCO Unix server. Thanks for the info.
