Question about asp access

Question

Hi.
I'm trying to get information from a MS Access database to a Java applet. I think the easiest way to do this is to use ASP. I got the asp page working to access the database and print its contents but I have no idea how the applet can access that information. I know nothing about asp and got the connection code from a tutorial. Can anyone tell me how I can access the information from a Java applet?
Thanks in advance.
ASP code follows:
<%
Set MyConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
MdbFilePath = Server.MapPath("db1.mdb")
MyConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & MdbFilePath & ";"
SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM Table1"
Set RS = MyConn.Execute(SQL_query)
WHILE NOT RS.EOF
%>
<LI><%=RS("Name")%>: $<%=RS("Balance")%>
<%
RS.MoveNext
WEND
%>

Thanks, I've gotten the reading working. But I'm a
little confused on how I would update. If I wrote an
asp page (say...called update.asp) that updates the
database, how would I call that from java? You
wouldn't use an input stream would you?Same way. Don't confuse the input stream with "input to a database". It's just the response from the service, and also the way to actually get the service (URL) to be invoked. Of course, for updating the database, you're probably going to want to pass the service something, telling it what to update. Passing it something is done (or can be done, as one way) by putting the information on the URL, like:
http://some/path/update.asp?key=abc&newValue...
And if you have any links to tutorials on asp database code,
that would be awesome. Thanks.I'd suggest using good-old google: http://www.google.com to search for those keywords.
