I'm very very new to web programming and have been using the web wiz guides to get started with asp.

I'm trying to apply some of the concepts to a web project that i'm undertaking. Basically what i want to do:

I have a piece of text to welcome visitors to the site, this text will change periodically so i thought i'd store it in a database and then have my user to login to a secure area (i've managed to setup a login script) and update the text.

I'm looking at the web wiz guide for the guestbook but that does quite a bit more than what i want and i can't figure out how to cut it down.

Could someone give me a guide on what i should be doing? I'd be so grateful for any help anyone could give.

Lucie

(who's feeling very stupid as this is probably such a simple and basic thing to do - i'm learning as i go!)

Yeah sure, I'll give you a hand with it. Basically the best thing that I could recommend would be to show the code that you're using then I could comment it, showing you what I've done and then this should help you to understand it.
