Using ASP

Hi -

I would like to create webpages incorporating ASP, with maybe a database on
the host server. I am just curious what software I need to do that. My
background is in creating VB6 front ends with Access data files, so I'm new
to working with databases over the Internet. I've seen books on ASP
databases, SQL Server databases, and I'm just a little confused with what the
best approach is, and what all software I would need. Basically I want to
create a simple website that will incorporate a form where the user would
enter data, and upon submitting the form it would store data in a database on
the server and send me an e-mail.

Thanks a lot for any help!

Make sure that you understand the difference between "ASP" (now called
"Classic ASP") and ASP .NET (something entirely different).

Classic ASP used server-side, interpreted VBScript, a limited set of native
objects and COM as an interface to other objects.

ASP .NET uses server-side, compiled VB .NET, C#, or J#, runs on the .NET
Framework (thousands of native objects) and does not use COM natively.

Your learning curve to get to .NET will be a big one.
