Hi, I was instructed to develop a simple online or web based logging system of my department. the purpose of the logging system is to monitor and evaluate the performance of my department or by individual in the team by other department head. They can access the logging system and put a grade that the report was sent to them (other group) are on time or had a problems like the data i not accurate or the report has a problem. May I ask your help or any idea on what particular application language sould i consider for this project. thank you in advance. |

What are you running at your shop? Linux? OS/X, Windows? What does your shop use for web development? PHP? ASP.NET? Ruby? What development tools do you use? Visual Studio? Eclipse? What languages do your colleagues use? F#? C?, C++?, C#, VB, Java, Python?If it were me, I'd use the languages and platforms used by most people at my shop so that after I'm gone, there will be people who can support my app. |

Hi gbritton, Actually we have a separate unit or group that handle all IT activities from hardware to software and development. They are using windows and the web development available is ASP.NET. Yes, development s toll available is Visual Studio. The language they use is VB but if iwere I would be to use VB or C# which is available in visual studio that installed in my laptop.I'm new to C# and VB i have a little background which i think there is a similar codes like VB6. |

Follow up question. Can I use MS access as database for VB.net and MS Access database for ASP.NET? or MySQL database for ASP.NET? Thank you. |

Ms access doesn't scale very far. Forget it. Mysql is a viable choice, provided it is a standard at your shop |

Not sure what you mean. Data types? Use whatever matches your data |

This makes no sense. SQL Express is installed locally (that is on your machine). So, you have full sysadmin rights to your database.I would advise against using a RDBMS that is not a standard in your shop. If you do, what happens when you get that dream offer and change companies? The mysql app you are developing will be an on-going problem for maitenance and development, since it is not a standard. |

I check the installed SQL in my machine, in properties under Permission, the permission under Connect SQL, it was grant as "sa". I think i was granted as users only. |

Well ask your admins for help then. There's no point in having SQL Express installed on your machine without the ability to create databases. You might need to have local admin privs on your machine |
