Does anybody know what software and/or programming languages would be best to use to build a web interface for a SQL Server database?
Thanks

Personally I'd say VBScript/ASP.
There are a few out these (MyLittleAdmin) already.

I know VBScript. Do you mean I wouldn't have to even use HTML or Java?

Steve is right VBSCRIPT and ASP will handle the database interaction OK
But you will still need some HTML to present your pages to your users. You als need to have a good handle on the difference between executing VBSCRIPT on the server side (any statements between the <% %> tags and page specific funtions. Some Browsers will just not run Client-side VBSCRIPT
Personally I have found that using Javascript for any Client-side stuff (validation etc.) and then calling ASP/VBSCRIPT for the Server-side Database interaction works best. All major browsers will cope with this combo.
I have found it is possible to please all of the people all of the time if you do exactly what they want. Harold Macmillan 1961

Easiest way is with Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev, which will generate all the HTML stuff for you and some of the VBScript as well, it is available for a 30day trial from http://www.macromedia.com as well
