I'm trying to make an online survey for a non-profit and have 2 choices
through Network Solutions either Access (I know and understand) or SQL (I
have not a clue.).
Which is a better choice? Currently I'm using HTML form with an email script.

With access I have never been able to get the drop downs in an ADP.

types of questions are standard Multiple choice, Fillin the blank, select
from drop down, and ranking (I figured I could do a varition of the drop down
for this.)

While I do have some experience in programing I do not know visual basic.

SQL is the language. SQL Server is the database product.

Is this intranet or internet?

ADP is a desktop solution. It works on LAN but not through the
browser.
DAP are special webpages that created by Access but can work only in
IE and need special setups on the webserver - they are generally not
favoured for internet.

If you are looking for a webpage solution, you need to pick a web
server scripting solution - .net, php, coldfusion, etc.....

Then learn how to make these webpages using these languages.

The actual database you use is secondary.

What languages do you know?
