how to connect html file to sql2005 data base,

Re: how
 

Not possible. HTML is not a server side language but just for display purpose runs on client machine.

Re: how
 

i think you may need asp host for a sql database (not sure)
but why don't you go open and free :D use mysql instead!

Re: how
 

You can't connect to a database throw HTML. Need a server side language. PHP was easy to learn for me. It has some native function for mysql but if you want to use it with sql server then here: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2...hp-driver.aspx is a driver for php. Woks only for windows platforms.
