How would you recommend the best way to access a database? By 'best' I mean, 
what solution would allow me to modify the data as much as possible, e.g. 
layout on the web page etc. I know in ASP 3, going through the data and 
using recordsets i could output the data all over the place, but with a 
datagrid or gridview, i am assuming it is stuck within that control? yes? 
just started using dotnet so any tips would be great, thank you

Since Gotdotnet.com is unfortunately nearing execution, you might want to 
bookmark the current ASP.NET QUICKSTART
http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/default.aspx
This installs with .NET Framework or Visual Studio as well.

It should be required study for any new .NET developer.
