I have to agree that CF is easier and faster to use than ASP. However, ASP does have the advantage of PWS. Does CF have an equivalent? I started out with ASP, then used CF for two years, and now I'm using ASP again. I'm not ecstatic about it, but I have found a couple of advantages:
1. Thanks to PWS, if I want to work from home, I can just copy the ASP site to my home computer. With CF I had to work across a cable connection which slowed things down a bit. Of course, I have to access the database over the network either way, but the web files can be retrieved and saved faster with PWS. 2. One of our web sites is not only used by people on-line, but also by field personnel who use laptops, and have to upload and download data. Thanks to PWS and MSDE, they will be able to use the same ASP pages as the on-line users, while using DTS to transfer data back and fourth. In a similar situation with CF, we had to develop a separate Access application for the field team members. Some other more obvious advantages is that ASP is free and can be developed in a simple word processor, if need be. Microsoft is also a huge name, whether you like them or not, and it doesn't hurt to know how to user their technology.
