database beginner question

[adstudio3d]

I've searched and could not find what I was looking for.
I have NO database experience but need to learn quick

I have an html page with an iFrame (flash menu on left - iFrame on right)
When I click a product image on the left this is what I need to happen.
- Flash send a variable
- The iFrame to load an HTML page that will populate with an image, 2 text fields, and 3 hyperlinks dependant on what product is clicked in the flash.

I am using access since it is what i have at work, and i can just add all the products in a table pretty quickly and easitly. I set up a table in access with the image, hyperlinks, and text that needs to populate in the html page. The HTML page is set up in tables if that makes a difference...

I just don't know where to go from here to make my connections and how to set it up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What your wanting to do is pretty complex if you are a beginner. I am not a beginner to access but still find linking it to webpages hard.

Like i mentioned in an earlier post, I would take a look at using Microsofts FREE Visual Web Developer Express software to link your website to a database.

It is quite simple and will let you do what you are looking for. You will need to copy the HTML code of your current webpage into the editor on this WYSIWIG software and then use the tools to link it to a database.

You can download the software now here... ITS FREE and very easy to learn, loads of free help online etc.

Well... I'm using flash which passes variables to an asp page that pulls in data from the access database depending on which variables were passed from flash... I haven't worked with databases before but I am pretty sure this is a custom application... not sure if that software will work, but I will look into it.
