Actually, ASP works very nicely for this - if you know ASP then there's no
real need to buy any expensive products.  For instance, this is an example
of what I put together to dynamically show results of a poll:
http://usna/Poll/Poll.asp?View=Yes&PollID=492575266

If you're familiar with ASP, just give me a shout off-line and I'll send you
some code to look at.

Hi Kathleen,

Not with the "traditional" tools like the current browsers or ASP.
However, Adobe has a product called AlterCast which can create data-driven 
images, available in January 2002.
(http://www.adobe.com/products/altercast/main.html)

Also, the Microsoft .NET platform has the capability to do so.

As both features aren't officially released yet, you might need something 
more real. IMO, you should look into SVG (XML based image format).
You can find out more about SVG at the W3C site. The link below is the 
"home" of SVG at W3C and provides a nice starting point for SVG.
