firstly fourms are a little more intricate
1. good combination
2. asp is installed on any windows machine that has IIS, MS SQL server needs to be installed though
3. in dreamweaver, click on window - databases - "the plus sign" - custom connection string -
give the connection a name
CHANGE
SQLSERVER, SQLUSERNAME, SQLPASSWORD. to reflect your configuration
Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=SQLSERVER;Database=SQLDATABASE;UID=SQLUSERNAME;
PWD=SQLPASSWORD this goes into the connection string
4. create a dsn to your SQL database and export the access table to ODBC, choose your SQL database, export it there
5. get to know the working of asp first or purchase a ready made forum (asp toast i thing is a free forum, im not sure)
