You might want to consider learning ASP.Net instead of ASP since ASP.Net is the lasest version. I haven't changed to ASP.Net yet, but a lot of people have.
Anyway, ASP is basically HTML with Visual Basic Script or Java Script embedded in it. You also use special ASP script tags (%> --- <%) to surround your ASP script.
I don't know what operating system you are using, but you will also need a Web server, either PWS, Personal Web Server in Windows 98 and below and IIS, Internet Information Server in Windows 2000 and above. You can tell if you have either of these by going to your main hard drive, for example C: and looking to see if you have a file named Inetpub. If you have that file then you have either PWS or IIS installed. If it is not there then you can probably use your Windows installation disc to install it.
I don't know if it come with Windows ME or the home version of XP?
Once you have PWS or IIS installed you will need to configure it. That is basically all you need to create ASP pages.
You also use basically the same ADODB objects as VB6 to connect to databases.
There are a lot of Web sites that have tutorials so if you just do a Google search on ASP you should find lots of helpful information.
I don't know where you are located, but if you want to buy some books on ASP you might want to check our eBay. I have found lots of various programming books for really cheap prices on eBay. Just go to eBay and look under books. Do a search using ASP and I think you will find a lot of ASP books.
ASP isn't really that difficult and I have found it to be a lot of fun.
I have attached a Word document that tells a little about ASP.

Let's save space on the Forum. You don't need to quote my entire post.
You said you do not find Inetpub, but there is PWS and IIS installed. Well, that may be, but if you don't have Inetpub the you don't have PWS or IIS. So you either need to search your hard drive and find Inetpub or pop your installation CD in and add these components. You will not be able to create ASP pages without it.
You can go into Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools and then click on Personal Web Manager (if it is there) and a screen will appear which will have a section called Publishing and it will say:Your homepage is available at: http//Your Server Name. And a little below that (in the same screen) it will say: Your home directory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot (or something such as that). Again, if Personal Web Manager is not there then you need to use your installation CD and add the IIS components.
You absolutely, positively need to have a "server name" (you can use local host) and the Inetpub directory or you cannot do ASP pages.
Once you have resolved these two problems then you can create ASP pages.
Apparently you did not do a Web search for "ASP Tutorials", because if you had done so you would have found a great number of Web sites that would answer most all of your questions.
One of the better Web sites for learning ASP is:http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp.
Just go to that Web site and read and follow the tutorials. That should get you started. Then if you have problems creating your ASP pages come on back here and someone will most likely be able to answer your questions.
Good Luck
I was just about to ask the same question - good site that. Hey, Anyone Know Where my Post is on the Fields Validation, It was a ASP declared Textbox, and I wanted to do the Vaildation with VBscript, if Thats Possible.
Codehammer:
I didn't see your post on Fields Validation and it didn't come up when I did a search. Also, I don't understand your question.
I'm Sure I Posted Here Like a Month Ago, Mendhak I Think Was one of the People Who Replied.Quote:
