How do I intergrate a Flash website with a database?

I want to create a gaming website that has a section for people to take part in a survey.
This survey would then forward the information gathered to a database.
However, how would I go about doing this.
Software wise, I have Macromedia Flash Pro 8, Access 2007 and Dreamweaver.

With the information gathered I will then Mail Merge letters that can be sent via email as monthly prompts for potential buyers who are interested in the genres they have selected from the survey.
Does anyone know of any good tutorial sites or can give any first hand advice how to approach this?

Thank you.

You should probably check Flash's documentation for connecting to databases.

However, since Flash mostly relies on client-side scripting, and once a Flash file is delivered to the user it cannot be modified by the server unless it is sent again, you should probably reconsider your choice of language.

If I were you, I would use JavaScript.

EDIT: As I am aware, you can use the PHP extension Ming to create Flash. However, were you to do that, it would be much easier to just create HTML using the PHP.

If you're just using Flash, you've hit a very big dead end.

Difficult one.

Normally the contents of a <FORM> would be sent to the server using the SUBMIT button. The SERVER would then run a script (written in PHP) to read the 'posted' data and then update the database with this.

The upshot is that you will need some kind of 'server side' script to process information sent. And by server, this is the place where the website/survey will reside. Not your PC.

There might be something in Dreamweaver to set up custom database scripts, but I'm not very sure about that.
