To have a web site talk to a database, you need a programming language. If you are sticking with the 100% Microsoft route, this means ASP (Active Server Pages) which is an integral part of Microsoft's Internet Information Server (the software your web site host runs to deliver pages). However, this is dependent on your web host. Then, of course, there is the database itself. SQL Server is pricey for a small web site to use (when properly licensed), but is great. A site with very few visitors may get by with an Access back-end.

You will need to get in touch with your web site host to find out what they will allow you to do. Or, if you are hosting it yourself through your DSL line, you need IIS (don't know if ME comes with that or not).

Do some research. Buy a good book on ASP. Check out some of the ASP sites (like [url]http://www.asp101.com[/url] or [url]http://www.4guysfromrolla.com[/url] for advice there too,
