Is it a true statement, that content stored in a database CANNOT be pulled into an HTML page?
I thought that only ASP could do that.
thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me!

If it’s stored in a DB, like a SQL DB, you need something that’s able to parse that info like, CF, PHP, ASP, CGI, even JS… but it’s can’t be done w/ standard coding… not to my knowledge anyway.
Hmmm…what if the database is an MS Access Database. Can I program a website to pull into html from a MS access database. Someone I know is trying to tell me that it CAN be done, and I have NEVER seen it. They don’t believe me, so I wanted to get some second opinions…sigh some people don’t give me credit…
I could be wrong about this but I’m pretty sure that Access is ASP. IDK… I’m not much of a backend person, I’m much more of a clientside person.
You can use PHP, Coldfusion or ASP to generate the data and then display in within HTML.
You cannot do this by just using .html extensions. You must use either ASP, PHP, or Coldfusion.
If you want to get fancy smancy you can also use XSLT and XML. But they are right html by itself will not get the job done.
