Wrong starting point. If you don't know where to start, asking what
tool to use isn't the best first move. You could use either. Or
neither. You start a project by doing some basic research and
creating a project scope.

Let's find out some of your skills first:

Do you know database design, administration and programming? If so,
which database, Access, SQL or other?

Do you know VBScript or C##? If not, do you know any programming
languages?

What types of programs have you written, if any?

What have you done to analyze the project, what budget do you have and
what timeframe do you need to complete it in?

Who will be using the program?

Also, did you look at the references I gave in the first response?
There are plenty of canned scripts and products to do what you want,
and plenty of examples to go by, but which to use depends on what you
know now and what you expect to accomplish.

Jeff

But do you know SQL query syntax? If not, you'll need to learn. Try
sqlcourse.com and the SQL newsgroups.

  >> Do you know VBScript or C##? If not, do you know any programming

 >VBscript

Then you're most likely going to be most comfortable with ASP.
ASP.NET is always an option, but you'll have a learning curve.

Try the ASP groups for help and pointers to basic tutorials.

  >> Who will be using the program?
 >intranet users

Then you'll need to decide on how you'll connect to SQL, and whether
you'll be authenticating users. This partly is SQL, partly IIS. See:

Go to aspin.com and do some searching. Download samples and look at
them. Google "ASP Database Tutorial" and work your way through some
simple scripting. Once you're comfortable on the basics, design your
program and start coding.

thanks for the guidance. Btw, is php easier to learn compared to asp ?
