Do I need ASP for this project??

[owuraku]

I am a newbie with ASP. I have a website development project that I am working on and I have a feeling it might require the use of ASP.NET I might be wrong but it's just a hunch.

So here's what I have to do:

In my department we usually send out reports to investors at the end of every month. These reports are sent out via email. What I want to do is to create a webpage portal that will:
1. Allow these reporters to go in and send emails to their investor
2. Track which reporter sent which report and to which investor (Information should be contained in a table with the following fields: REPORTER, DATE REPORT SENT, REPORT TYPE, INVESTOR, REPORT STATUS)

Is ASP.NET ideal or is there another way I could develop this web page...and the page has to be dynamic of course.

Hi there,

Firstly, welcome to Bytes.

Secondly, in response to your question, ASP.NET would get the job done faster, and with a finer degree of granular user control, especially with built-in support for Crystal Reports.

You could use classic ASP but it would take longer, the application would be bigger (and slower) and potentially less secure (depending on your ability to write clean, secure code - for example, using stored procedures).

Hope this helps.
