Use Cold Fusion from Allaire - see: http://www.allaire.com It makes publishing any ODBC
Database on the web easy (P.S. I don't work for Allaire, I just love the product)

Front Page contains an HTML Editor (FrontPage Editor), a personal WWW Server Engine
and a utility to help manage a web site (FrontPage Explorer). There are a few
Microsoft Database publishing Utilities out there [dbWeb and IDC(Internet Database
Connector)] but they are being marketed separately from FrontPage. dbWeb ships
with NT 4.0. It is ok (and free), but Cold Fusion is easier and gives better
control of the result sets. I have yet to play with IDC - I think it may be
vaporware.

Thanks,
Jeff
