How to, or what do, with a database

[FishMA]

I work for a non-profit trade association for commercial fishermen. Members of
our association pay dues based upon their sales. This money is withheld by the
company to which they sell their fish and the company sends this money to us
along with data pertaining to each sales. This is an honor system. To help
police compliance, we send our members a quarterly statemnent showing all of
the information that we received from each fish company. Members can then
check this data against their own sales records.

I would like to place this data on our web page so that members could log on
and check this data on line. This information would need to be available only
to them. I know how to display data on the web and I know how to install a
"password". But sorting data and displaying only one member's data from our
server is where things do not come together for me. Currently, the data is
entered on a PC in our office. We use Access for this and to generate written
reports for each member.

Any thoughts or advice on putting this together would be appreciated.

How much time do you have?

If you have the time to really study DW's ASP Server Behaviors, and
VBScript, and read about how to use databases with them, then go for it.
Otherwise, you may be better off hiring someone to do this for you in a way
in which you can learn along with it.
