I have run a coupon/deal site for a few years using just html and an access database. I have some mental block being able to come up with a package that will work with frontpage so that I can go in and update the database and the changes will automatically appear live. My database is a collection of hit & miss tables and I am certain it's not functioning up to it's capabilities. Basically what I want is....
1. To get a basic database that I can update and have the updates show up automatically.
2. Have this information show in a flat type table like a html table.
3. Be able to have this table show up in an existing frontpage template.
4. Have simple instructions so I can get it all going and live without going nuts.
As long as I can function with it I don't care if it's php or asp???? I am committed to two hosting companies..one offers only php the other asp so I can go either way.
I've read numerous books on access, frontpage, etc., but I just can't get it..although I do understand a little but it must be fairly simple. I understand html pretty good (if that helps anymore).
Php is a foreign language to me..I don't even understand what it is..but I know it's better than asp (or so I've read) and I would prefer it if I can actually figure out how to use it.
Am I making any sense??
To see an example of what I am aiming to do.. you can look at this website. It's basically what I'd like to achieve and pretty much the norm for this type of site.

I definitely would want to see a demo page since I've viewed several free scripts that wouldn't work for me.
I would also want help if needed but if designed right I shouldn't need hand holding..maybe just an occassional ..question.
The site I listed best describes what I want to do but with my own templates.
If you need more info and can email me please do or post them here if that is allowed.
Thanks,

3 days is maximum. This is a very conventional task for an ASP project. If I am not to be designing the templates, so much the better. If you want, you can have an initial discussion with me, since it seems I can make things more automated than you think is possible. Dont worry I wont increase my fees
