Advice on dbase --> html transistion...

[Isadore]

Getting ready to move from the Access environment to the web...but before I dive in for several hundred hours of academic self-instruction could I as a couple of you nice programmers out there if ASP is the answer?

I would rather learn ASP bc of the SQL already under my belt, and not so interested in purchasing Cold Fusion. Data Pages in Access looked like a possible route but doesn't work on Netscape, that that's out...

Just a word of advice? I need Charts (OLE objects) ran by SQL queries, and general combo box repopulation events, etc... (User input....database output) on the web and would like suggestions on whether ASP is the proper decision. Thanks in advance,

I've been reading a few posts...and there appears some arguments out there that VB.NET or ASP.NET may be the better route to go...

I'm not a top end programmer. Have been building Access databases for 6 years or so...all I need to do is get a few graphs (with user input of dates, etc...) and general retrieval of information (use of multiple combo boxes to drill down with user input) etc...

So, again, any advice would be appreciated. At least a short list of my options....

IMHO, it's a very very short list.

.NET technologies are amazing, and especially if you're just learning, you just couldn't go wrong.

http://www.asp.net

http://www.gotdot.net

http://www.dotnetjunkies.com

are a few good starting points, and there's also an ASP.NET, and a VB.NET forum here at this site, and I'm sure you'll find them both invaluable.

Start walking through the tutorials on those sites, and you'll be up to speed before you know it.
