My armature two cents would be to go with PHP, it does not cost a dime. If
you know ASP, PHP is a breeze to transition too. To get the full kit for
Windows just go to www.FoxServ.com . Win or Nix PHP is the same so I don't
imagine you would have any problems. There is enough friendly support in the
PHP community that can  cover any crisis you could possibly have. Plus any
hard converting (db or whatever) the tools are freely available to do it.
Also if you are going to use MySql, there is a great tool for windows called
"mysqlfront" You don't even have to read anything to use it. Its very
straightforward

brad,

Before you .net ask me about .msn.
Before you Hailstorm ask me about msn mail.
