Ronx, Wow, thank you. I am learning asp.Net right now. I was hoping to use
Frontpage as an easy out.
The servers will differ, but all will run asp programming. I was thinking of
using mysql, or sql???
Access is a possibility, you think it would serve me better? pun intended.
I am worried about the timer on the page, and I am very in the dark about
login
Does any of this put me on the right road?
Thank you for your time
