Thanks, I'll give those a try. I read a little about ASP and SQL Server and it looks a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. One of the great things about Access is that you can get started right away. I will probably use Access as a prototyping tool. Maybe the first step will be to figure out how to link an Access database to tables in SQL Server (through an ODBC connection of some kind???). Then I will try to do something simple with Asp.net. Is there a tool that can be used which is more visual and graphical (like Access query builder and forms wizzard, etc) to create Asp.net forms?
