Banner

I have been updating names on a webpage over the past 6 months. My list is
getting too big for html and I need to give people the ability to search more
for specific names. See http://mdrenter.com/a_n.htm . I also want to give them
the ability to enter their own names to my list - however, if someone else
enters a name through the input form, I want the entry tagged so people know the
webmaster did not enter it.
The database should contain these fields: lname, fname, mi, suffix, city,
date, remarks, public
All fields should be in text format.

PUBLIC Input of Names Page Abilities:
1. Allows users to import from an excel spreadsheet. Approximately 8 columns
(see above) to import. Example is that a user will enter about 300 names into a
spreadsheet and then need to dump them into the database for display in users
query results.
2. Allows individual input from the general public into the database. Allows
them to enter what they know about the 8 fields (see above). The fields of
lname, fname, city, date need to be required. These fields can be limited in
characters to keep the bots from dumping into the page. Maybe we can have one
of those cute little - look at the picture and type what you see verification
before the input goes into the database. That way I know a human is doing the
typing.
HOWEVER, I want any public entry to be “tagged” so people know the webmaster did
not enter the name. The “tagged” would be automatically entered in the public
column. Maybe that tag can be the letter x or something to show it was entered
by the general public. It would go in the public field of the database.

PUBLIC SEARCH of Database:
1. Allow the user to search on any of the columns.
2. No restriction on which combinations of columns can be searched. For
instance if they want to search for all first names (fname) of “Thomas” - it
will give them everyone named “Thomas” regardless of the last name. A search
for fname:Thomas lname:Jones” will obviously give them a much more narrow
result.

Output/Report Page:
1. Table format similar to http://mdrenter.com/a_n.htm
2. Query report includes all available fields and all names available in the
database - even if they only entered names 1 minute prior. I want them to see
their entered name in the results.
3. The report page can viewed on screen, in table format. In the results, a
record that has been entered by the general public from the PUBLIC Input of
Names Page above will have a tag in the public column.
4. If they search for fname: John lname: Johns ----- I want the results to
show:
John Johns
John Johnson
John Johnston
I want them to be able to enter a partial name and all the names appear that
start that way.
Control Panel/Admin Area (password protected):
1. I want to be able to export the entire database into a spreadsheet - clean
it up and put it back on the server.
2. I will also be adding names to the data base but when coming through the
control panel, I don't want them tagged with the public tag.

I am using Front Page 2003 to manage the website. I am fairly familiar with
html and understand how a database works. I am not familiar with SQL at all.
It is that SQL (which is what I assume the format of the database will be) part
that I need the help with!
Basically I want the general public to be able to add names but I want those
names tagged. I want them to be able to help me add to the growing list of
nonpaying renters.
Thanks!
