Sorry, these were the tools I was planning on using. What I wanted was a dumies guide to using them. I can knock together basic HTML but wanted to know how you go about making a sql server database visible over the internet/intranet and how you would go about producing a front end in it

Why not buy "The Dummies Guide to SQL Server 2005 Express" and "The Dummes Guide to Visual Web Developer Express". Apparently, these are pretty good "Dummies Guides" to the tools you were planning to use.

Try the free tutorials on MSDN - they are from the same guy who also hosts www.learnvisualstudio.net.

A basic introduction, but don't expect advanced topics.

Visual Studio .NET using Sql Server and ASP.NET is probably the most painless way to get data on a web site providing you don't want to do too much in between.
But even more painless would be to get a sprog to do it for you. If you don't know any likely lads you can find one via elance.com.

Here's a simple intro using PHP/MySQL/Apache - http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/

This one is not so well laid out, but it gives instructions on how to install the software on your own machine before you start uploading stuff to your hoster - http://www.webmonkey.com/webmonkey/p...tutorial4.html

LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) is a simple way to get into proper web development, and while MySQL and PHP are not enterprise class (though the other two are), the experience gained will give you a good grounding for when you need to move up to something a bit more heavyweight (like Oracle and Java).

Which SQL DB were you thinking of using
Oracle,
MS,
MYSQL,
Postgress
etc...

Most web hosters seem to offer MS and MySQL

The Which Language do you want to use

.NET ASP C# VB PHP JAVA....

Do you have any preference in any of the above.

sorry to just ask question but it's a bit of a blanket question.
