How do I make a dynamic website using asp and Dreamweaver? Where all pages are the same. The header images, content and left column menu will change. I'm tired today any help is appreciated.

I can remember being taught Coldfusion in school because my prof thought it was the next BIG thing. In hind site i wish he would have focused on PHP more.

use .net.
you can drag drop, create user controls which you would put your nav in and then place in each page.
and since it's ms-based, it will load access data easily, plus there is TONS of code online for setting this stuff up.
i'd highly recommend getting someone more experienced to do this though unless you've got a solid weekend of free time and plenty of motivation.
stay away from asp. it's old, slow and you're going to have maintenance issues later down the road when it's no longer supported and/or you try to find someone else to take the project over.

So you're only using ASP so you can use an Access DB?

I'm assuming you're a graphic designer. If someone posted asking you how to design a magazine, select and balance content, fix typography, proof and get a PDF ready to send it to the printers; would you tell them to fuck off?
Learning web development is a skill that takes time and effort - either put the effort into learning or hire someone.

so what's left? with classic asp, #include your headers and your done, right?

i'm hoping for your sake that this is an internal application? is this actually going out on the open web? are you envisioning more than a handful of users? access is fine for personal use or small workgroups, but it's file-based and not designed for any sort of heavy or 24/7 use. you will have concurrency issues at high volumes, you'll get invalid data when writes can't keep up with the read volume. 10 simultaneous users max.

just build a template from scratch using just html and css to get the structure down. The split up the template into two different files , and use asp includes to call them up into your separate pages that way you can make changes to the includes and that will update all pages that use those includes, that will be your template so
header.inc should have most opening html stuff
footer.inc will close of all other tags
