Need some advice, Please!!

I am new at this whole ASP thing. I have created a website and have a few things (mailing list, calendar) running fine and really want to step up and add a few new ones.

My website is for our AYSO (soccer) region. One of the things I would like to add is for our field people to login to the site and state whether fields are open or closed. I have seen some examples of getting the data out of the database and so I am really looking at assistance in getting the data in to the database. Examples of how to have UN/PW for the field personnel and then a "data entry" page for stating whether a field is open or closed. Mind you the data entry has to be pretty brainless, so I am think of using radio buttons to simply entries.

I would like to learn as much as possible out of this exercise, so I am not looking for someone to write this stuff. Just a little hand-holding to get myself going. If you have links to sites with good teaching material or sample code, I would be most greatful for the knowledge.

Thanks!!!

Hmm. Where do we start? I suppose at the beginning. Don't mean to be a smart-ass, but that is why I wanted to get some example of documents coded that kind of do what I want. I usually learn by gleaning from others and fixing what seems to be broke.

Where would you advise I start? Is there some place you are aware of that I can go look at some works of ASP and start learning?

Thanks for ANY advice!!!

Our website is http://www.ayso87.org. I do not have any pages yet for this endeavor. I figured I would do my homework first.

I have a couple of databases, but they are pre-configured for specific applications (i.e. Calender & Mailing Lists). In other words, I did not create them. I am starting from the ground up. I do know databases pretty good, just not the ASP to get to them.

Quick question - would it be better for me to try and figure this stuff out in FrontPage? Or, is it simple enough that I can learn what I need to for ASP? The last language I programmed in was Pascal 15 years ago. :p

Thanks!!

Nothing I can get online, huh?

If you are looking at my site, the page that I want to pull from the database I create is: http://www.ayso87.org/fields/fields_Conditions.asp. My goal is to populate the "open" and "closed" from the database.

Thanks!
