Hello Masters,

I say that because you have the knowledge that I seek,

I'm working to make a button that will play a bank of mp3 files in dreamweaver 8,

I'm calling on the Masters, because the rule of thumb is that , You can be good at TWO skill-sets but only MASTER

one.

So, if anyone can lead me and guide me, I owe you. also if there is a basic formula I'm am humble and willing to be

a student.

THANKS DONALD

Welcome to Utter Access!

Are you wanting to create a ASP page with dreamweaver 8 that will get a list of MP3 filenames from an Access database and the play then?

Hello HiTechCoach,


I'm taking a class now in MySQL and PHP, I'm very new at it , so I dont know much. I do believe that an ASP page can do it , I just dont know how.

At this point I'm williing to try anything.

Since you posted your question in an Access forum, do you have an Access question about what you are trying to do?


To play you group of MP3, will depend on what mp3 player you are going to use. You should be able to generate a playlist file on the web server then send it to the browser.

Why are you doing this with ASP is you are taking a class on doing it with MySQL and PHP? Why are you not using PHP?

I would like to use a built in player that I can put on my site.

I'm taking the two classes as part of my degree, but Iam not sure what programming will best work for

making the database.

I do have an access book but, It leads me nowhere to developing the type of database I need.


thanks donald

You are not really developing an Access application. You are developing an ASP or PHP script. You access book will not help you with creating web pages. Everything you are wanting to do must be done with your web pages. You are only storing the data in a backend database like JET (Access) or some SQL server.

PM's should not be used on a message forum board to help each other. This really defeats the purpose of a message board where other can read the message and also learn for it! Also other can help answer your questions.
