Well being cool or smart or whatever is not the purpose of why we are here. I think someone is asking a question and he is looking for an answer. Now I guess it's not difficult for him to address the person who asked the question and save the space of the "Nice or stupid" comments. We are not here to debate, or perform some muscles show but to answer simple straight questions.
(No heart feelings)
Regards

Hi Montelen,
Thank you for yoru answer and help.
>I am assuming you mean client-side Javascript -- since you are new to HTML programming (2 days) this is likely a valid assumption.
Yes, at the moment. However, I world try to do anything to let the visiters read the database in my home page.
>For security reasons, client-side Javascript does not allow the reading or writing of files *except* for a very limited case where JavaScript will read and write to a cookie file.
Look, I am really a beginer :-) I even don't know what is cookie file.....Can you tell me?
>It would be dangerous for an HTML author or programmer to be able to read and write to someone else's computer system, ....
OK, but I don't want to read someone else's computer system, I just tried to let someone else to read my files, perhaps in the same directory/folder as the .html file.
>It *is* possible to write JavaScript that will call another program that runs on the server that can read to and write from your database. These are generally called "cgi" programs (for common gateway interface).
Thank you very much.
But this involves programming
Cheers.

Hi Magigraf,
Thank you very much for your comment, but I couldn't pay you the points :-)
I would be very interested to see the pachages which lets the visiters read a table of my .mdb file via my homepage.
I am sorry that there are some argument in that way and feel happy to see he apologized for that. Now you should forget that....A man sometimes lost himself :-)
Best wishes.

Research came back for now with the following:
1- FileMaker Pro 4.0 (Price=moderate)
2) ShowBase Extra 2.0
Their slogan is "Publish your Database Without a Programmer"
(Price=expensive around $1500) which what you would be paying minimum to one time job for a programmer
Now this said, you have to consider that it DOES not take credit from Programmers, as they could provide you with what you ASK, unlike these packages which are designed to perform very specific tasks.
By the way these Programmers-less packages work very well if they meet exactly what you want.
Hope this helped

Thank you Magigraf.
Hey user1:
You say you only want people to read a table from your database...if this is the case and you don't update the file very often then you could just publish it as HTML...This is assuming that you use Access97 and are willing to put up with the inconvenience of cutting and pasting from one html file to another. But since you would have to upload a new *.mdb file everytime you changed it anyway, it wouldn't be that much more work.

Hi Experts,
Sorry, I should grade this earlier. Many thanks for all of you.
Sorry, I should grade this earlier. Many thanks for all of you.
So you graded the FIRST one on the list.
You had to grade the one who gave you the most efficient answers???
It cost me 10 points to tell you this while someone else has collected the GRADES and the POINTS.
Thanks anyway...
P.S. Don't post any messages for me here as It will cost me more points to READ them. I'll keep that in mind.

There is on the market few software packages that would do exactly what you're looking for, it would take your Access database and would integrate in in your HTML to be READ by the client who is visiting your page.
No programming, no hussle, no fuss.
If you are interested, I will find these packages for you.
