I've already told them this, but their Lotus Notes consultant has done a
good job of convincing them that it can also do the job.

Ah - but their full time employee is mostly an HTML/CSS guru who knows a
little ASP and a little PHP. Unfortunately, I don't know enough to do all

information out of a database and onto a web page.

I'm in the process of learning PHP, but I don't know enough to develop the
application.

Well, I always figure that learning and knowledge is never a waste of
time. I've found that learning one thing often opens a door to something else.
