web form

I would like to create a webform for students to fill out their school bus service request, it's a quite simple form with about 12 fields on it. I plan to let parent fill it then submit to an email of a transportation staff.

So I created a web form quite like a feed back form, after filling the fields then hit submit, it will send an email and showing the data user has filled.

My question is :

1. right now i use controlls like text field, dropdownbox, etc, is it OK or is it a better way to use something like detailedview or data list control?

2. at first I think we will send only by email, but considering we may loose email for some reasons, think may need a small database to store it for tracking if lost.

I may use sql server, but if I use ms access, how many users can at the same time use the database to insert records?

THanks

1. What your doing is perfectly good (with the TextBoxes and the like).

2. Because your users are connected to your web app... andthe web app is connected to your Access database, then you are not limited in the number of peeps hitting your web form and inserting records.

I would recommend using SQL Express (basically and mdb file kinda like Access) for your needs. Hey, it's free!!!

Peace,
