Errrmmm, depends what you plan on using as your scripting language. PHP or ASP (or Perl, heaven forbid)?

It doesnt realy matter... does it? Which ever is easier. Linking them cant be that hard.

Well, it entirely depends on which you wish to learn. Personally i'm a PHP man, but what you choose is up to you. Either way there is no "point n' click" way of magically getting frontpage to populate a DB for you (that i know of). So you're best getting down to some hard graft and learning one of those applicable languages...

Nope it isn't and searching the web on how to do it isn't hard either right?

How do you think i ended up here?

I was told no codeing was needed to do this...

Any estimates on how long it would take me to learn PHP and get this database and sign up page connected to frontpage.

This might help (I did not read the whole thing) but the Frontpage database wizard should be able to setup a connection (I don't know what other functionality the wizard supplies, so you might still need to do some coding to actually make use of the database) - http://help.meccahosting.com/database/frontpage/
