Why in a frontpage database accessing ms access do you see double colons ::?
ie,. where custname = '::whatever::'

It means to pull the value for whatever from a form field.

I know it does that, but in regular asp/ado you do not see a double colon.
Frontpage is only place I've seen it, why? Why isn't regular asp used, ie.,
where custname = 'whatever'. This has no double colon. Is this unique to
frontpage only? I've programmed for 20 yrs, fill free do go into detail.
I'm only new to frontpage, not ado/asp.

Open up the .inc files for data access and you'll see what's up with those.
