I am looking to replace an Access database on my web site with an SQL
database. I am running IIS to host the web site and I have a few basic
questions:
1) How do I create the database file? Do I need some kind of editor like the
Access program?
2) What connection string do I use?
3) Do I need to install anything on the computer running IIS?
4) Do I need any type of liscense to use SQL databases?

No offense, but it sounds to me as if you need to hire a consultant to get
you over the "hump". In the meantime, there's a lot of information available
at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/default.mspx as well as at www.aspfaq.com
