I am new to using databases on the web but so far I have gathered that I
have to learn how to program a data base in Access.. Then I have to learn
how to make asp web pages, then I have to learn how program in ODBC to get
the data back and forth between the data base and the ASP page. Is that
about it?

So far so good. Access isn't all that hard. It's a good idea to do some
initial study of the bare basics of database design (maybe an article or
book chapter). For Access, I highly recommend "SAMS Teach Yourself Access in
10 Minutes". I don't know about the 10 minutes, but I referred back to that
little book many times.

A decent book - or even series of free online tutorials - should get you
started with ASP without much trauma.

Setting up an ODBC connection is usually quick and easy - no actual
programming there.
 
Depending on your requirements you may be able to get started just by using the FP database
components, however learn to hand code will be better in the long run then relying on any
application to generate server-side scripting.
