Hello,

I am going to use data access pages and put my access db online. I will be using a sql server to store my tables. I am thinking of using vbscript for web pages. Can I download this software for free? I am completely new at this so I need all the help that I can get.
 
what software are you talking about?

VBScript is script that is not compiled, but interpreted by the browser the end-user is using at runtime. You only need to write it into the HTML page and it will work. You don't write VBScript with software, you can use Notepad as long as you know the language well.

Neither SQL server nor Access is free, but it sounds like you already have these.

To expand on what synperx said, and this is the important concept, you're going to be coding in the Internet Explorer environment. VBScript and JavaScript are part of the IE application. DAP's are actual WEB pages (HTML, XML) NOT Access forms. Since you're dealing with web pages, to pass data back and forth between the pages, you create and write, then read, to a cookie file on the local computer.
Look through the following site, searching on Data access page for various coding:
Also, look through:
msdn.microsoft.com\library - Then on the left, expand Office Solution Development, Microsoft Office XP, Access 2002, Technical Articles
 
I will suggest to go for .NET express editions.
Visual web developer & SQL server express. also Web Matrix. You can create ASP.NET pages for your web. DAP needs office components installed in the users pc.
