Hello:

My website was created with Frontpage 03. I have a form for visitors to fill out requesting quotes for my services. Since the hosting company, GoDaddy, doesn't have an exchange server, I can't have the form e-mail me the results. The data, then, is stored in a Microsoft Access Database. To cheeck for updates, I have to:

Open Frontpage 03
Open my site
Have Frontpage open my remote site
Download and overright the old .MDB from the hosting server to my own PC's Hard Drive
Open the database to check for any updates

I have to do all that...EVERY SINGLE DAY. Since I usually don't have updates, I'm wasting a LOT of time. Is there any easier way to do this? Surely there must be. I thought about writing a batch file that would download the database for me to my desktop or something, but since I don't know how to make the connection for the download, I don't know how to write the code for such a thing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Magus
