This is a basic overall question. Please note I am new

This is a basic overall question. Please note I am new
to ASP!
I am currently running IIS 5/Access 2000/Windows 2000 and
have developed a web application.

>From what I have been told, to really emulate a
master/detail form, the best way would be to use ASP.net
to do so.
1. is that true?
2. if so, does ASP.net run against Access or SQLServer?
3. what would I need to purchase to emulate this?
Thank you for your help.

It is easy with a GridView and DetailsView, so if easy is your criteria for
best, then I would say yes.

Both.

Visual Studio, but you can download the free versions to get started:

If you have .NET 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005) master forms are supported by
default on it and are basically effortless to implement... ASP.NET can run
against any OLEDB or ODBC database provider or SQL Server Client, as long as
you have the provider installed on the host system (OLEDB Drivers, or ODBC
drivers)
