since you've worked very little with databases, the first thing you

should do is brush up on how to create tables, when to use more than

one, and how to populate them.. you know, the basics. get yourself a sql

book and focus on "create, insert, update, delete".  and as far as ASP,

I've no idea except for that article on the ASPToday

(http://www.asptoday.com/articles/19991001.htm). They make it seem real

easy.  I personally have been using Server Side JavaScript to have flash

get/set data from a database, so if you go that route and have

questions, I have plenty of answers.  Try that ASP article... it should

get you started in the right direction.  There's also a flash database

list but I'm not sure of the url to sign up.


indeed it will be a challenge.. but once you grasp it... it'll be worth

it.
