Using asp to collect data and put in the database hands down is the fastest, easiest and most efficient way.. When it comes to customizing how the data is collected from where, depending on how it is displayed etc.. is an animal in its self. You described several things. you need to separate into 2 things, <br /><br />1. How to collect good accurate information from all sources and how best to store in the database? I've discovered if you collect accurate data and stored correctly displaying using ASP is cake! <br /><br />2. How best to display it to your target audience based on who is requesting and what country, local they are at.<br /><br />What i'd concentrate on is 1st collecting good data. ASPFree has database demo's get the basics down. From there you can fully understand how and what data you want. I've see 4guysfromrolla.com or 15seconds.com has articles on localization of apps. There are server side variables you use to detect where this user is at. based on that data you could build logic to redirect the appropreiate info you want them to see. hope this helps clear your thoughts. <br /><br />good luck!<br />------------<br />clint at 3/27/2000 1:44:36 PM<br /><br />Hello everyone,<br /><br />I am in some dire need of some advice, tips/hints/tricks etc etc. I have a site up at http://24.64.228.203 and we have a news section in the page.
