Using VB with ASP and Databases

I am just starting out with ASP. I have found the need to learn it so I can write to and display information from a Access Database on a web page. My question is this: Does anyone know where I could find a good in-depth article on how to do this? I am new to vbscript, and only programmed with Visual Basic for about 6 months. Could someone point me to a good place to start. Thanks.

Well, this is what you need:
I guess you by now know how to retrieve data from access from a VB form correct? if yes then
1.You must learn how to create an ActiveX component from VB
2.How to call the component from ASP

Here is an example:

for example you could have this function in a class module:

Public Function GetData(name as string) as ADODB.Recordset

'Get a connection to your database here
'Set a recordset object
'Execute a SQL query

cnn.Open "DSN=MyDatabase"
Set rs=new ADODB.Recordset
set rs=cnn.Execute "Select * from table"

'Return the recordset
set GetData=rs

End Function

Make a dll. Now your COM components is known as the project name + the class name for example: MyFirstCOM.clsData

MyFirstCOM is the name of the project and clsData is the name of the class.

Now it's ASP time:

<%
set obj=Server.CreateObject("MyFirstCOM.clsData")
set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

set rs=obj.GetData("André")

if not rs.eof then
response.write rs.Fields("LastName")
end if

set rs=nothing
set obj=nothing


%>


Of course you need to apply your database etc.

I hope it helps a little

Thanks for the help, but I was looking for more of a resource on the internet that has an in-depth look at what the commands mean and how to manipulate them.
Anyone?

I have yet to find a decent resource site for ASP

there is some on http://www.irt.org

and bits

http://www.ewebcity.com

you could also look at http://www.15seconds.com but that site is mainly adverts and very dificult to navigate.

Thanks for the sites. I also found this one http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/ The faq section is close to what I was looking for. Thanks for the help.
