I want to build a website that does a few things. One, a database that pulls
reading passages at random. Two, the time to read must be counted then all
right and wrong answers stored. Three, I need the website to be accessed by
login. Any body?? Please suggest a discussion group maybe??

I educate and assess children have no money to do this but want to help kids.
Thank you for any help.

First, what server is the site to be hosted on?
Windows servers will support Access database, with asp or asp.NET for
scripting.
Unix servers will support mySQL database, with PHP for scripting;

If using Windows server, then FrontPage has the Database results wizard
that will get you started with the database, and Microsoft has sample
code for a Login system.

The project can be dealt with in 4 parts:
1st, the Login.
2nd, Reading the random text from a database
3rd, The timed test
4th, Updating the results to the database

Individually, each part is fairly simple - if you have the programming
skills and knowledge.

Basic tutorials in PHP, asp, and asp.NET can be found at
http://www.w3schools.com

I cannot suggest a more appropriate forum/newsgroup without knowing the
technologies (asp, php, Access, mySQL etc) you intend to use.

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
