Hi,

I am at at the early stages of developing, what I hope will be a very simple shopping cart.

I have created a database called "shop" with three tables in MS Access [products, customers and orders]

I am using MS Visual Web developer Express for the coding.

I have created the first two pages, should be about six in total, store_front - which displays all the products available in the shop with a select option. Page two is the products page which gives a lot more details about the product, this is where the user can add the product to the shop, this page is working to a degree i.e. the first product in the table is shown detailing all the required information.

This two pages use the same table in the shop database, so what I am trying to achieve here is when the user clicks on the select item from the front page the item is displayed in more detail in the second [the second page is called "products.aspx".

Can someone point me in the right direction here. I know that cookies/sessions will be used but I'm thinking I don't need them until the user adds something to the basket.

Thanks in advance.

usually you just pass the product id in the querystring.

btw.. you are talking about a dnn module here right? since dnn modules usually don't work with classic aspx pages, and dnn does not support access by default (eg you must swing your own dataaccess... but why bother if you are using sql server anyway for dnn?)
