Default PHP or ASP or what?!

Dammit. I'm confused. I don't know which or what to use. This site I'm trying to make is for advertisements - free ads and paid ads. It's going to have a dbase (Access) with usernames, passwords, bla, bla, bla.

I'm just scared that I'm gonna use the wrong dbase and then it can't handle the traffic. Any guidelines I should follow or should I go with trial & error? Learn as I go? Dammit!

If you are limited to an access database, ASP would be the route to go. This can still handle plenty of views at a time

PHP and MySQL would also be good to use if you have the option for another database.

Thx Ian

I'll educate myself by researching this subject....I don't have time, though. Luckily, I can stay with access now. I'll see how the site holds up.

Cheers
