I have it set up where students can select a date from a drop down menu that I created in front page the entries go into an access database created from the from in front page. We have a limit of 30 students per workshop but right now it's operating with no limits, is there a way I can type in a code to limit the capacity of each workshop. Any info will be greatly appreciated thanks. Here's the link to the site.

I don't recall if Access (and this is a SQL Server site, BTW) supports triggers but the basic logic could be implemented either in a trigger or in code. Use the COUNT function to determine the number of entries in the particular WorkGroup. If it exceeds your allowed limit, fail the insert of any new student.

e.g.

declare @CurrentStudentCount int

select @CurrentStudentCount = COUNT(*)
from Enrollment
where WorkshopID = <Your Workshop Number>

if @CurrentStudentCount < 30
begin
insert into Enrollment (...
values (...
end
