I am a newbie to web-based databases. I have a SQL 2005 server and I need to develop a web-based intranet solution that can house database for the company to search, sort of a knowledge-base. I need basically a form that some people will be responsible for data entry while most will only be searching. Some of the data for the fields will need to be combo boxes which I will need to get the data from some of the SQL tables. What is the best package to develop this in, I was playing around with MS Visual Studio 2008 (downloaded the 90 day trial) but found it way too complicated and limiting. I currently have this project developed in MS Access and would like to retain the same look, feel and flexibility in the form layout that I currently have. Any suggestion would be great appreciated. PS: Cost of software will be a factor also.... I will have about 150 users hitting this database but only 1-5 simultaneously.

Microsoft has provided Express editions for all Visual Studio tools. So if you want a browser based solution, you can use Visual Web Developer. If you want a desktop based Windows forms application, you can use Visual Basic Express. Depending on the complexity of your app, the Express editions may be sufficient and they are free.

InfoPath is another option.
