Total Newbie Question...

[Bomb_shell]

I've been asked to create a database for my department, using a template from another business unit. I'm good with HTML, MS Access, and SQL, but the current system is asp-based and I've never played with that before. Am I headed for trouble? What kind of transfer of learning should I expect? My software administrators don't have anything on their list of "standard applications" for this, so I'll have to request them to purchase something new. What do you all recommend?

If you are starting from scratch, you should look at using Visual Studio 2008 and develop your web based app as a ASP.NET applicaiton. Get your feet wet, then dive in head first. :)

I agree with David on the part of getting yourself VS2008 if you do not already have it.

Not necessarily so. It will be a valuable learning experience for you and feel free to ask any additional questions you have :D
