There are many ways or technologies to create web-oriented databases,
as you heard before ASP (Activer Server Pages).  ASP is an extension
of IIS, is not a programming language, but a technology that uses VBS
(VB script), (JBS Java script) and of course HTML technolgy. Since you
know some HTML and some databases, you shoudn't have a problem
learning this technology.

  ASP pages maybe created in any text editor including notepad. As you
imagin the way the browser knows the code is VBS, JBS or HTML is by
the tags you use, for instance VBS tags are <% and  %>, assuming that
you already have a database created, one of your first step is to
create a connection to that database.  There are two ways to create
connections to databases in ASP: DSN and DSNless connection, I always
prefer DSNless conections.  In my opionion ASP is great, the only
problem is that is OS dependant or for that matter, web server
dependant, because it may only be use with IIS.

  Another hot technology right now is PHP, PHP is shaking all other
programming languages in the internet tech arena. It was especially
created for the internet and it is not OS dependant. I always see it
matching with Apache web servers, but I think it may be used with IIS.
One of the best feature is that it is free and there are lots of
open-source programs for this language.  One that I love is PHPSHOP,
which you may find at PHPSHOP.ORG. Is like like C, you must tell her
how to do every thing.

  Another techonogy you find right with your access application is DAP
(Data Access pages), DAP is the mother of simplicity, you can create
data access pages in a minute with the same skill you use when you
create forms and reports.  But DAP has its feasibilities and
constraints; is OS dependant like ASPs and even more, the clients must
have a MS Office license to view them.  I would only recomend it for
intranets, if you would like to DAPs in a internet, it could get
really ugly. Especially if you are using MS 2000.

      
  None of these technologies are difficult, if you are entusiastic and
motivated.
