I need to make an application for our intranet that will check a database of open ticket items and once they hit 30 or more days display them in a "hot list" that will be user defined.
Hence if a certain department is behind on something they get a nice display showing what it is at time of log-in.
Any ideas on personal prefrences will be great. Please add pros and cons if possible.
Thanks!

Well what is the database? What platform is it running on?

Right at the moment the database is just an excel spreadsheet. I'm not sure what to put it in, but it will be on Server 2003. Any ideas for that?
This is going to be a fresh build that was never originally existing. I hope I answered your questions.?

Well it also depends on the budget. I would say if you get to start from scratch PHP/MySql/Javascript is a great way to go. But lets say budget doesn't matter... Or maybe you have people there that know MSSQL and .NET then you might go that direction. I know there are people that get all worked up over the issue but you have to look at what resources you have available then make a decision - Don't go with what you think is the coolest thing.
Just my two cents...

There are several application stacks you could build that on with no licensing cost.
IIS/ASP/SQL Server Express
Apache/PHP/MySQL
Tomcat/JSP/Derby
As r0k3t says, go with the best personnel fit, not the coolest thing.

I would stay the hell away from any Microsoft's garbages and use LAMP or MMAP

On what do you base these words of wisdom? If the current "database" is an Excel file and you need to interact with the system:
get a nice display showing what it is at time of log-in.
then .Net is the way to go.
