Database Requirements and Restrictions

Creating Web database pages requires that you work in a FrontPage-based Web site. For a diskbased Web site, the database must be accessible from your computer. For a server-based Web site, the database must be accessible from the computer where the Web site physically resides.

You need to use a FrontPage-based Web site because FrontPage stores certain information about databases at the Web site level, and not within each page. The database needs to be readable during design so that FrontPage can retrieve the table names and field names for various selection lists.
