Try this:

www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts_dmx/rob5/rob5.asp

if that is not what you want, then google your question and you'll find many resources

cool thanks for that - do you also know how i can let people download songs of my site for a small fee?

thanks

search the tutorial list of the link I gave you, I'm pretty sure they have a tutorial for creating a cart.

thanks for your help - one last thing, if you don't mind! my + sign on the server behaviors panel will not work until i choose a document type, i'm confussed about which one of these to use - ASP - JSP - PHP - Coldfusion - can you help me here and also i will be using microsoft access DB for my members page. do i need to pay to host my site before i can go any further? i am new to this so bare with me and thanks for your help.
cheers
pete

If you have a IIS Windows Server, then the natural choice would be ASP and MS Access.
In terms of dreamweaver, yes, you have to select the server type you are going to work with to user server behaviours. In your case would be ASP.

Do a search man, you'll find a load of resources for setting-up and using ASP and Access.

Regarding your webhost, I guess you have to pay, unless you have access to a free webhost. In the meantime you can develop in your local machine.

ok - done a search, just found out that because i'm using windows XP home that i do not have an IIS - any way round this?

Thanks Javier for your replies to Peter. I have found them helpful. I am using Dreamweaver MX and have set up a login page using .ASP and created a database in MS Access. Everything seems to work well - except!! When I open the index page for my website and click on the link for the members login page the login.asp page comes up as a run/save dialogue box rather than a browser page. Why? and what do I need to do to get login.asp to behave like an ordinary webpage? Thanks anyone.
