Hi, > 1) Can we display an alert box using PHP. No, you need to use Javascript's alert() function. PHP is server-side only. > 2) I would like to know the max. number of records or max. space > a database (mentioned below) can provide. Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server are limited only by the space available on the server. Access has a defined limit, but it's quite large (2 gigs, I think), and it chokes when you have more than 5 connections open. I would *strongly* advise you not to use Access for a website - give MySQL or Postgres a go, they both beat it hands down. Access is a desktop database, not a server - it's great for holding your CD collection, but that's about it :-) Cheers Jon
