I'm not really sure which forum this belongs in so I'll put it here. Seems fitting to me.

I, with the help of most of you here and other forums, developed an app in VB. It's working OK, could use a little touching up here and there, but the "boss" is tickled to death with it. Of course if he's happy so am I. Now he wants it to be a web app. I've started reading a little on ASP and VBScript. I asked the question here about weather to use Front Page or Interdev. After everyone recommending Interdev I leaned towards Front Page out of "fear" I guess. Now I think I like Interdev better, so I'm starting to use it.

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a few commands to use to accomplish what I need to over the web.

1) In my VB app I passed SQL Queries, depending on the user selection, to Hidden Text Boxes on the next form.

2) When the parts list loads in a list box and is "double clicked" I have a flex grid with just 2 columns to list part names from the above SQL query (1). The same part name has different types of parts. (OEM, AfterMarket, Re/man, & etc.) When the PartName in that grid is "double clicked" it opens another small form with yet another Flex Grid to show the Part choosen with the different prices for the type (OEM &etc). When the user double clicks on the part in the open form grid, it adds it to the main grid on the original form. The main grid is in the center of the form. It holds PartPrice PartNumber, PartName, Labor, Materials, & etc.

3) When the main form is finished, I write all of the grid info to a database.

I need a little direction to get started doing something similar with ASP and VBScript. I've read about both. The VBScript I can handle, I think, and the ASP I've started learning. I'm confused as to how to accomplish what I did in VB with forms on the web. How to load them or whatever.

Well, I think I've rambled enough.

It's pretty hard to explain how to do it, that you mention that you don't have ASP knowledge. But it should be easy to learn to accomplish your task. I think is enough for you to buy the Learn ASp in 21 days type of books

ASP is based most of the time on VBScript and there a 5 major types of objects specific to ASP
Server, Response, Request, Session and Application.

All I can say that the thing you are trying to do, it can be done! Each form is another asp page.

Good luck,
