* Install a Server (e.g NT Server with IIS)

* Setup ur database (eg. SQL 7.0 Server) on
the server (e.g NT Server)

* Install SQL 7.0 Client on workstation
(e.g NT Workstation)

* u may like to install Visual Interdev 6.0
its interface is similar to that of
Visual Basic. you would probably wont get too
intimidated by it.

* with ur background in VB...u could use VBscript
and the rest are probably drag and drop
configuration on the database connection etc..

To be honest...I am just doing this as a bit of fun, so there for my funds
are rathar low...

I am using Win 98, so I think that any form of TN hosting is a bit too
far...

I was hoping to do this for about, mmmm, $0


Oh well.....

Thanks anyway,
Doug
