Hello Furr,

Could you just explain a little more about what you mean when you say:

windows 2000 enviroment

Do you mean a database that runs on Win2k? Or prgramming that runs on 2000 like asp/asp.net etc?

I think then we will be in a better position to help.

Does it have to be win2k

I'd use PHP and MySQL

there are plenty of free PHP hosts around try portland and the only free MySQL host I've ever found is noname sql.

but other than that I can't help, unless your running the windows version of PHP & MySQL...

ASP/ASP.NET and MSSQL can be just as powerful as PHP and MySQL, but as both Khan and Mr.47 highlight, as much detail as you can manage is really needed in order to build up a picture of what can be accomplished.

Sorry I can't be of more help as yet

Hello,

Php is very similar to asp... apart from a few feature differences if you know one you can easily convert to the other.

ASP.Net is very different, ASP.Net is a more structured language and where as you use VB script in ASP you have to use full VB.Net to code the pages in ASP.Net

ASP.Net is also cached, and uses the new dot net platform meaning it is compiled code which also offers performance and compatibility increases. It is truly the next step in Microsoft web-development.

It is not initially easy to convert from asp to asp.net because of the structure differences but since converting I have never looked back.

Another addition is that Microsoft has finally realised that if they provide a community for the language it will provide awesome response and help via other community members, see www.asp.net

If you want more info then just ask,

(also all you news items are the same, and the d/l linkd don't work... looks very much like a work in progress to me... :D )

It is, if you read the first post it explains this. I posted the site up as a technology test. I got a big project to finish before I start on it again.

Thanks for looking though!!!

Cheers,

Khan
