Re: SQL forum
There are asp based forums around, not sure if they use SQL though.
You can run php & mysql on windows though - why not do that ?

Re: SQL forum
SQl is just a standard langauge for querying databases. I imagine that most software that uses SQL will be able to work with your setup, you just need to connect to the right DB server.
ASP does use SQL syntax for querying db's and because you're runnning IIS may be the best option to go for.

Re: SQL forum
SQL is a language and so is OS-independent, but SOSAGES wants to use MS rubbish (SQL 2000) to do it.
If you have server access, MySql server is dead easy to setup and run, a PHP server (never tried it, but i'm sure it probably is easy too), and then you have tons of choice for forums.

Typical comment just because Microsoft is involved. 
SQL2000 is a very good database, there is nothing rubbish about it. Most forums are written to use mySQL because its free, not because it's better.

phpbb can run on a mutltude of database types, according to www.phpbb.com including M$SQL, MYSL or even M$Access/ODBC.
It's great cos its free for most uses, but not as powerful, even with available mods (hacks) as VB stuff.

This is quite true it will run of most database types but beware that if you intend to install any mods on it then a lot of these will only run on mysql as they must be DBAL compliant in other words they must be able to be used in a variety of database types.
