I've been searching around and found some free code that I may be able to implement in my program. I started teaching myself Perl from wdvl.com. It's really good. Since I don't know how to program in Perl (yet), would it be crazy to program the basics in VB (which I've already learned) with...

Thank you for your advice. I downloaded ActivePerl, but I can't figure out how to run it.(The help says that there are problems running it with Windows95, which is what I have.) I'll keep working at that. Meanwhile I also checked out the wdvl site that you mentioned, and it's got some fantastic...

Thanks for the info. I've learned C++ and VB, but someone told me that learning ASP is hard, that I should try Perl. Can I do this in Perl too? Do you know if it's easier to learn? I thought that ASP was a scripting language, so then what is VBScript for?

I'll be doing the database in Access. I hate to show my ignorance, but what is an ODBC Bridge? Also, is it possible to get ready-made Java or other scripts or servlets or whatever I need to go between the program and the database? Thank you for helping me out.

Thanks for the help. What language should I write my program in to be able to work with the databases? Do I need to write the code with Java? (I don't know Java). Would I create the basics in HTML with JavaScripts, or could I write a regular VB program that will access the databases? Also, in...
