Re: What is the best package for creating a web enabled database?

So, as a simple web enabling system, with minimal coding, you suggest.

1. Learn Java, VB or C++
2. Learn the necessary Web /XML protocols
3. Learn to structure your website
4. FTP
5. a database

Then its all trivial?

Have Fun
Robin.
