Creating a Users Table
The users table contains a list
of your site’s authorized users,
logins, and passwords
Create the Database
Start Microsoft Access, pull down its
File menu, and choose the option to
create a new blank database.
When the File New Database dialog
appears, name the database
TopSecret.mdb, and save it in a
folder that is not in Web space.
Create the Users Table
Double-click the option to create a table in
Design view. When the Table window opens,
create the following four fields. After you
type each Field Name, press the Tab key, and
a pull-down menu appears in the Data Type
column. Pull down that menu and make the
field’s data type match the ones illustrated
here:
Save the Users Table
Pull down the File menu and choose
Save; when the Save dialog appears,
name the table Users.
When Access asks if you want a
primary key, say yes.
Access will make UserID the primary
key, because the autonumber data
type makes each user have a unique
UserID.
Populate the Users Table
Close the table by clicking its close
icon. Then double-click the name of
the table to open it in data entry
mode. Type the following records into
the table:
Transfer the Database
Transfer the database to the
designated folder containing
databases for your Web site.
In this course, you can create a
Dreamweaver site for publishing your
databases.

and remote settings.
