I have a website, which hosted in storesonlinepro.com, a database of quotations in my computer MS Access file, and I downloaded MSSQL server to me computer. Now I need automatic update from the database of quotations in my website.

I used to program codes in DBase, Clipper, so you can guess my age, guys:-) I ask any volunteers to help me in my task. Just for your own fun. If I could pay I would hire, but I can't. I don't work and my only business is my website and hopes that parents would need my free parenting class and the book I interpreted for parents from Russian. The book is really great so I believe one day it becomes well known. But for now my websote needs traffic and better, flexible design.

Anybody who know how to do what I ask please respond. www.ParentingForEveryone.com

so tell me... are you just trying to promote your site with this post or are you really looking for help?

because spam isn't desired here.

To spirit1:
When I wrote this I didn't have in mind to promote the website, though I know it is possible. But not to you people! (Most of you to young to be parents:-) I really need your help. I have qoutes, and the possibility to use storesonlinepro.com's program to create pages and backgrounds. Right now my background have featured quotes and articles. But all my 60 pages have same quotes and articles! I wish my quotes be changed daily and for that I have database of quotes.

I am sorry if you had a wrong impression. I really need help. I can't manually update what I want. I told that I even downloaded SQL because I really TRIED to do so by myself! I couldn't. I don't know what to do with it next. I need to know a lot in this modern programming.

I know spam is frustrating. I hate it. I have the name of website with the hope that some of you might be interested in what I am talking bout: how to update my quotations colomn daily, using database from my computer, whereas my website hosted in the other server.

ok glad we got that worked out.
in that case welcome to SQLTeam

let see if i understand this correctly:
you have a hosted site in HTML.
you want have a sql server at your home.
you want to periodicaly update static HTML pages with content from your home based sql server?

if that is the case all i can say is you can't.

best option would be to create an asp.net app that reads data from you database that is also hosted at the same provider.
if your provider doesn't support db hosting, change the provider.

Thank you very much for accepting me to your team!

I must explain the whole story. But before that I want to tell you that I may mistake in terminology as I don't really understand what is what sometimes. For example, I don't know if my site "is hosted in HTML". Yes, I guess so. I only guess.

I don't really want to have SQL at home, it doesn't matter to me. I just need periodic updates.

I don't understand what is asp.net app but I am willing to learn how to create it. What I need for that.

I can't change provider because I can't produce my website by myself. I can only produce some HTML pages using DreamWeaver, but I can't produce flexible menu of pages, and other complex stuff, I am not an expert.

We, storesonlinepro.com's customers are allowed to upload files in their special dirrectory (not main).
So I guess that if I upload to them my database, but how? I need to create a database file from MS ACCESS, again, how? - I never did before. I will try to look what can I do though. Is this possible to guide me, teach me, please!

well since you can only do what they let you you should probably talk to them about certain possibilities of db hosting.
first you have to see if they support asp or asp.net (both for windows) or PHP (for linux).
anykind of db access can't be done just from html.

I found that they support PHP. What would be the next step to find out?

well i would suggest you turn to a PHP and MySql forum.
this is a forum for Micorsoft SQL Server, and we're not really skilled in other SQL database engines.

PHP: http://forums.devnetwork.net/
MySql: http://forums.mysql.com/
