From: JeremyH1982 on 13 May 2010 23:10 Hello, I work for a footwear company, and we have a site, basic design, but I did up a form on a page, in which a customer can place an order, and since we don't deal with consumers, and just regular stores, we don't need credit card information or anything like that, they have accounts with us. Anyways, we have several style #'s that correlate specifically to style name's, descriptions, & color. Depending on the style # they type in, depends on the size run that would be available. As of right now, it's all manually entered by the customer, I would like it so when they type in a style #, the rest automatically populates, and a drop down list is available with the sizes available for that size run. I'm not sure what I'm looking to do, or rather, i'm not sure what needs to be done to be able to do what i want done. I do know I need a database, or something with all the information, not sure if i can do a .csv; if a database, odbc? that would be the easiest for me to create and import the data from our company software. This is probably super simple, I'm just not sure what I'm looking to do, or the proper terminology for what i want to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's original and current purpose is for informational use. But back in December when we were off for an entire week, I wanted to give our customers an option to place an order even though nobody's here. They do have the option to email an order, but figured why not put a form on the website. I'd give you the address, but I'm a little embarrassed by it, it seriously needs to be updated, or rather, redone. We host with Network Solutions, and we are on a Windows Platform, which only supports MS SQL, Access, & ASP/ASP.NET; I would love to switch to a Unix Based server, to pick up PHP Capabilities, but I would loose the Frontpage extensions I need. Also, when someone "Submits" an order, it gets emailed to me instead of stored on the server. Just thought that would be pertinent...
