I am creating an asp to display a trend(in a chart) in real time of a changing data.
The data is extracted from another website which is in a table(such as a price list).
And I need to store the data in a database first.
What is the approach to do this?
How do I extract the data?
What database I should use? MS access or MS SQL? Which one easier?
I really need help. Does anybody know what is the easier to do this is using VB.net?(do I need to use MS excel to do the web query first?)

It is definately better to use .net as asp classic is not really well suited for live trending. Also for the charting, you have built in tools in .net.You can grab the values from the table using xml and display it in your chart. I don't think you would really need to store it in a database for what you are doing.
