Beginner asp tutorial required + dreamweaver or FP

Hi

I have reasonable experience with access. I am just about to start a
web based database project for my computer course.

I have very very limited experience of frontpage, VB & VB script, I
have no experience of ASP or dreamweaver.

I have office xp pro and am in the process of buying and installing
win xp pro. Is there anything else I need?

Idealy I would like to download a simple working access / asp database
to 'play' with and find a tutorial which takes me from a simple access
db using it on the web. - any guidance for either of these would be
appreciated.

After my course project I would like to develop more web based
databases. Should I make the effort to use and learn Dreamweaver now
or should I use MS FP for the projest and learn DW later?

Thanks Colin
