VP- Is it really a piece of cake (easy)? snot easy but it IS cake... elaborate and fancy wedding cake. you need a pastry chef... actually, two chefs... one experienced in cgi scripts or XML... and one experienced in databases and spreadsheets. Or are you joking? yes i am. but as far as the host server handling it, almost any hosting service (including the one i recommended last week) offers all the tools and functionality that you'll need. (but you may need some additional dbase software) making a form with CGI scripting is pretty easy. i'm sure you've seen them on web pages, i.e., the kind that lets you enter text into boxes and then there's a button to click to "submit". actually that's what i'm doing right now to create this post. there are free CGI form scripts all over the web that you can download and modify. free instructions too. basically, you create the form, set up the script on your server in the CGI bin and it will send the entered data to wherever you designate. that is your data. then you import the data into a database in designated fields. the database software, i.e., microsoft "excel", can then store and arrange it in hundreds of different ways... creating forms, records, reports, etc. XML may be even be more useful and powerful for you but i don't know enough about it to discuss it here. hope this helps. if you want to know more, your next stop is... "google". -ep
