Hello,

I am new to designing and developing websites with database connections.  
What I would like to do is this:

1. Create a sign-up form where the information is emailed to the webmaster
2. Have the webmaster decide membership and have them manually enter new 
members into an access database.
3. Have the login page on the website that uses the databse to decide 
whether they can gain access to the site.

What programming languages should I focus on?  ASP or JSP?  Or is there 
something completely different I should be looking into?  I have Visual 
Studio .NET, should I be using this program?  I just need to know where 
the best place is to start

Thank you,
Shauna

 
There are a million answers to your question. Here's one opinion.You can use the 
 tag to set up the sign-up form. Have you used this tag before? It can be used to email the info to your web master.Here is a snip
of code to help: 
Please Fill out the Sign-up form....blah blah...what ever instructions you want to give and so on  First Name Last Name User Name   
You web master can use an ASP page to add members to your website database or they can add them to the actual DB that they will ftp
to your web host. Either way will work, but hackers could mess up your DB if they found the ASP page your web master uses. Security
would have to be used on the ASP page. Depending on size and traffic to your web site, I would recommend a daily addition of new
members to the DB and then uploading the updated DB to your web host(For a small traffic site). If you get a lot of new members a
day, you might want to add new members ever other day or so. ASP would be great for the login page, just bump the user name and
password against your DB. The choice of language depends on you. If you know VB pretty well then ASP would be great. If you know c++
then go with Java. It just a matter of choice. --- On Tue 10/08, Shauna Swystun < s.swystun@s... > wrote:From:

Sorry about the reply. My email service excite made it look all funny and 
displayed my html code as a web page and not as the code itself.
