Thanks for your prompt reply, with regards to your answer....
"4) I am not sure what you are referring to here. "
What I mean is that I want the ability to change (or load )product data by running a script thru SQL Query Analyzer (Transact-SQL)...does your control panel allow that???
My windows based web site uses
1. ASP: VB Script and Java Script
2. COM+ DLL's registered to Component Server
3. SQL Stored procedures on SQL Server 2000
4. Pre-loaded reference data (e.g. Products etc)
Question 1: There is no set installation procedure, it is typically installed...
