Hi

I need to organise a heap of learning resources onto our website. Currently it is a series of links to other pages containing more links.

I had the idea of having a drop down list that, when selected and submitted, would return the information from a database onto the screen, which would allow the “student” to read about the self paced resources and download any files that they needed.

I think this would have worked except for the fact that FrontPage 2003 won’t allow me to set up a connection to an access database created in 2007, and when I convert the 2007 database back to 2003 it loses the functionality of storing the files (.zip, pdf, pps).

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions how this can be achieved? I have some vb.Net experience and can usually manage (with persistance) to get the code working within websites to achieve a goal.

thanks
