Kevin -
Thanks for you reply....
Can I ask how you would handle taking an Access Application to the web (the
backend will now be using SQL2000), I guess I'm having a hard time starting
this project cause I don't know how to dive into it. Do I create the pages
that will be needed for user input, then code the logic into it, or build
the business rules first, then build the GUI? The Access application used a
lot of popup windows to gather different data based on users criteria - for
example if the user chooses to pick 3-tiered plans (its a health insurance
application) then there is a popup asking if they want two 3-tier plans, or
one 3-tier and 2 regular plans, etc.... Would asp.net be able to have
popups like that and post the data back to the page it was initated by? I
just feel so overwhelmed with where to start!
