Just so others can follow the full procedure for the solution.Procedure:1. Create a page in Lectora (named: Show App) that will serve to display the database content.2. Add an External HTML Object with the ObjectType "JSP script" and insert the Custom HTML script. Within the script indicate which Lectora published page (name_of_your_lectora_page.jsp) will receive the data. You could also create an External Text File for the Custom HTML as another method.3. Size the External HTML Object to hold the data. Please note that when published this page (Show APP) will have a file extension of .JSP.4. Publish your files to HTML.5. Place the Lectora published files onto your server and test.Access Database and Custom HTML Script:1. Create an Access database with the fields needed for the search.2. Ensure the Access fields match those in the HTML Script.3. Edit the Custom HTML code in Notepad, Frontpage or Dreamweaver so as to remove all Microsoft Word code.4. Ensure your script has the correct connection code for Access.5. Change the Custom HTML script to reflect your Access connection code settings, your database fields, and the Lectora JSP page.I simply added an External HTML Object with the ObjectType "ASP script" and inserted my Custom HTML script. Within the script I indicated which Lectora generated page would receive the data. I then sized the External HTML Object to hold the data and then published to HTML.Instead of strict HTML I indicated in the Publish that the first HTML file to be index.asp. This procedure holds for SQL and ASP pages.Edited By: bruman on 2008-3-2 22:7:19
