in my deamweaver tutorial was the first time i heard about the generated
code that MS word will inport into a html document. i think that is what
you are talking about?
1 thing i did read about sql express is that it does not generate a code and
i believed they were talking about what i mentioned above. and again i am
not sure if this is what you meant.
i stopped working on the tutorial after creating a few tables but watched as
the data was entered
and then displayed on a web page. It felt good to see for the first time
the full path.
after what i seen yesterday you and this group is the only thing standing
between me and using that program. I feel more comfortable with in a
microsoft envirment but the help i am getting from here
gives me a much better feeling that I will actually do this. I am not
looking for something perfect, i think that would show an ignorance of what
is actually needed. All I can really hope for is something that is
functional. i am also concerned with how my wife will use it. she really
needs something like the forms in Access.

it was in the ebook Phpmyadmin mysql. I was thinking i would use the enum
for some feilds or perhaps
i should just - type yes or no for those types of fields.

i think i did get about 3 1/2 hours. I had to wake up and do some work but
now I have to take another nap.
when i wake up I will correct that mistake, tune the tables, put some data
and start creating relations.
talk to you soon
