Hello, I'm basically a beginner to programming/web development... I've created some basic static sites but nothing big. Anyways, I want to create a custom inventory management application. It will be available to the LAN users and also to a couple outside internet users. It will have basic query and reporting functions and a few buttons for the users (example:(a SOLD button that automatically takes that inventory record and moves it to the appropriate sold category, taking it out of inventory)). Another thing I would like to do is the ability to take a Sold record and automatically pull the appropriate info from the record and input it into a word template for a contract. I am planning on using MSAccess for my database. My question is: in your opinion, what program/language would be the easiest to learn, and best suited for my needs? I have been doing some research on using Coldfusion and Dreamweaver, and it seems like it would be an easy one to learn compared to others and I already have Dreamweaver experience. Would that be a good option, or should I be looking at something like VB or just using MSAccess?

If you are going to use Access, then Access VBA is your language of choice. Also, Access has a template of an inventory control system you can run, which might get you about 70% of the way home.
