What's best for a database web application?? 1

[rtshort]

I'm just about 3 months into learning VB 6.0 to develop a web application. It is going to be similar to a shopping site. I want to have a form up front to collect information about a person (e.g. shirt size, waist, inseam, & etc.) so after the form is filled out, the user can select any item in the database and it will automatically know what size to put on order.
Since I'm just starting out, I would like some input on what type programming language and etc. I need to use.
I have planned to use VB 6.0 for the front end with SQL Server on the back end and Visual Interdev to make the .asp web pages. Also Crystal Reports to let the user print or have a copy of the invoice e-mailed to them.
If anyone has any ideas or has done a similar project, I would greatly appreciate any information on the subject.
Thanks ;-)

When you create a web application you are creating at least a 3-tier model. IIS 5.0 is recommended for your middle or business logic layer. It's able to decipher the .asp code and relay it to the web browser via html. Also use SQL Server 7.0 or above as your database server. VB6,IIS,ASP and SQL Server all integrate seamlessly together.

I know it's a little late, but thanks. I posted the same message in the other VB thread, and they think my boss and me are crazy trying to take this on. I can call in help at will when I need it. Again, THANKS for being positive.

Have a look at Beginning e-commerce published by Wrox. It's exactly like what you are doing.
