Demo

To begin using the demo follow the steps below:

Here is a List of steps to help you get started quickly. We have included an example file:  To get started first go to the Welcome screen if you are not already there and test to see which server type your Internet Service Provider uses.   You can use the tab marked "Host Test" to find out.    A few pages will be uploaded to your server and will determine if your hosting service provides Active Server Pages (ASP) or Hypertext Preprocess Pages (PHP).

NOTE: This is only applicable for ASP generated pages. If you have the PHP version then please see below.

1. Load the Welcome screen and copy the dogs project to a destination on your local hard drive.
2. From the Load Project Screen, open either the dogs97.sss or dogs2000.sss file. 
   Click on it and then click NEXT.
   
3. The sample database yields a list of dog breeds. The dogs97.sss project uses the dogs97.mdb which is compatible with servers that are configured to support Microsoft Office 97 Access databases while the dogs2000.sss project uses the dogs2000.mdb which is configured to support Microsoft Office 2000 Access databases.
   
4. Click NEXT to advance through the screens, studying them to give yourself an idea of the steps that were involved in creating this example.
   
5. Once at the Generate Screen you will generate the pages in the location where you loaded copied the project so that the supporting images will work in relation to the project.
   
6. After you have generated the files you can then upload them to the remote server, or browse them locally via IIS or Personal Web Server (advanced users only).

PHP Version Only

1. Load the Welcome screen and copy the dogs project to a destination on your local hard drive.
2. Using the "Load MySQL Data" tab on the welcome screen locate the dogs.sql file that was copied over with the project to the location you chose.
3. Fill out the necessary server information in order to connect to your MySQL database and then click on the "Load Dogs Data" button and this will populate your MySQL database with the project data.
4. New in version 3.1.40 you no longer need a DSN to connect to your MySQL database. Simply supply the following information on the database screen:
   • username
   • password
   • database name
   • server name
5. Advance to the Load screen and locate the dogsMySQL.sss project file.
6. When you click on the next button and are advanced to the Database page then you will need to specify some information specific to your database ie. username, password,database name, and server name to connect to your database whether it is an IP address or HTTP address. (This actually should be filled in already if you have imported the data in step 3 above.
7. When you click on next then if all of the information you entered in step 7 is correct you will then be advanced to the Fields screen as this will confirm that you have successfully connected to your database. You will then see a list of the available tables in your database.
8. The dogs table should already have been selected so you will be able to simply click through the project now and see how things were done to get a feel for the screens in ASaP.
9. Once you have reached the Generate page then choose a folder to generate your files into and click on the Generate button.
10. You will now need to upload your pages to your remote server. You can do this from within ASaP and then finally go and see the fruits of your labor.
