cool...well i have to create a local intranet web server that responds to requests from Internet explorer for web pages....like http://localhost:7898/microsoft.html and shows a web page. the web pages are in html and built in code on the fly. use a free port and have a welcome page and a page that shows a list of employees stored in an access databse.. i copied the whole question.
i have no clue where to start...any idea would be appreciated.

Oh, so you need to build a WEB APPLICATION not a WEB SERVER (the latter would be hellishly more involved).

Well, its simple really. Just start up .Net. Create a new web applicaton in your language of choice.

And design your forms... welcome page seems easy, throw a label on it that says 'Welcome'. Then throw a hyperlink (or LinkButton) on it that points to the other page required by the project (we'll refer to it as page2.)

On page2, create a new System.Data.OLEDB.OLEDBconnection, set the OLEDBCommand parameters, and bind it all to a Repeater or DataList.

That's what you need to do. If you need more help, go ahead and ask.

Well, this a definitely more involved project then.

Is this homework?
