I'm thinking of buying this book but I would like to use it as inspiration for my own website, can I use a access database insteadt of the sql you have in the book?

you can create a data by the sql, I think.

No, this application uses very advanced SQL, including views and Stored Procedures.

The Nickel and Dime CMS at SourceForge uses C# and works with Access. This looks pretty good to me:
http://ndcms-net.sourceforge.net/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ndcms-net/

This one is in VB.NET and it uses Access. It's just starting to be developed, so maybe you want to help out with this one:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aspnet-cms/

Eric,

Thanks for the plug (ndCMS). I just want to let everyone know that they can contact me directly if they they need help on implementing and using ndCMS. Plus if anyone wants to help, that would be great.

For clarification, ndCMS uses either SQL(SERVER/MSDE) or Access. Although in order to use SQL you must port all the tables from Access into your SQL database (which shouldn't be a problem to most people).
