You're no burden, Jonathan. Let me explain what I meant. Your question
indicated that, while you have a pretty good idea of what you want to do,
you have virtually no knowledge of the tools (ASP and HTML in particular)
that you need to use to accomplish it. ASP is programming, at least
scripting, and there are no short cuts to learning how to program.
I could describe to you a house that I'd like to build without knowing
anything about building houses. I could tell you how many rooms it should
have, how big each room should be, where to put the kitchen, etc. But if I
had to build that house myself, I would have no other choice than to learn
carpentry.
FrontPage comes with some nice cookie-cutter tools that can create database
apps of the very simplest kind for you without your knowing much of anything
about it. That's all well and good. But if you want to customize your app,
your stepping outside the lines of what those tools can write for you, and
you have to write it yourself.
Now, some people have the mistaken impression that there are all kinds of
ready-made scripts out there to fit just about any requirement, but that
just aint so. Consider a chess set. It only has 32 pieces, but they can be
arranged in an almost infinite variety of configurations. Now consider a
programming language. It only has a few syntactical elements, but you can
create any kind of program with them.
So, the best advice I can give you is to roll up your sleeves and start
learning ASP!
