Hi Gang,
Please forgive my ignorance. I just want to know if I'm heading in
the right direction.
I have a video rental store. I want my customers to be able to search
out movies on the computer using in-store (no internet) data instead
of looking for each movie to be displayed on the shelf.
I need a computer fix that will allow an easy search by many
different categories (title of movie, actors, studio, year of
release, genre or several genres, director, etc. and will show a
thumbnail of the front and back DVD covers <all of which when clicked
will hyperlink to the in-store database and show a large view of the
covers and list all related movies>). This needs to be in a format
that will allow even my oldest, youngest or least computer savvy
customers easy browsing.
I think I can use ACCESS and FRONTPAGE to achieve this. ACCESS should
be able to handle the data and jpeg covers and FRONTPAGE will be able
to display (and hyperlink) it in the easiest to use format for my
customers.
I have talked to a couple of local computer guys who have told me
this would be a very difficult, very involved, very time-consuming,
very expensive undertaking.
Am I deluding myself to think this will work? If it will work, how
difficult would it be? If the local guys are right then I need to
rethink this idea and look for alternatives.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can give and again my
apologies if I've not made myself clear in explaining my dilemma to
you.
Thanks a lot,
Jeff
