ufobaby,

When using MS products you don't always have very much free options given to you. MS would prefer that everything you write in ASP would work only on their servers. If you plan to use something that runs ASP on Apache then you probably will end up paying a fee to the creators of that tool because they have to pay a licence fee to MS.

If you really want to get out of such a rut where you always have to pay you might consider going to real free way. Download PHPTriad to learn about PHP/MySQL.

PHP is similar to ASP except faster. It runs on almost every platform (linux, Windows, OS2, Unix etc...). And most importantly it is free. The only downside to it is the slightly steeper learning curve compared to ASP. Don't let that scare you off. The advantages more than make up for it.

Google "phptriad" to learn more about a free PHP developement enviroment for windows. I hope this option is helpful to you! Gary
