Database w/ client access (online) and estimator

Greetings,
(new to google groups)

Question: what will be the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of using MSDE +
ASP.NET language to build a database that will:

1) be accessed by users via WWW to 'look-up', 'query', 'add/remove
items' (users will have a password to access data allowed with specific
password)

2) be able to submit forms -> process submitted data -> display results

3) handle up to 5 or 10 concurrent connections (so MSDE is ok - at
least for now)

I want to use ASP.NET in combination with JS to perform my calculation
for the estimator results (I am not comfortable with PHP and I dont
want users to see the formula of my calculation)

I'm working with Win(XP) on PC. At this moment I can't justify cost of
SQLS, but will need to purchase as our project grow (so MSDE preffered
for easy upgrade).

Please excuse the broadness of my question... I will narrow it down as
I make progress. If you know of group that is more related to my topic
- tell me. Thanks a million. -mn-

You will really stand a much better chance of getting the answer you need if
you ask this question in a newsgroup devoted to ASP.NET and/or SQL Server.
You may find some here who have opinions on the issue, but you'll find the
real experience with the products at the other newsgroups. Microsoft has an
online interface to sponsored newsgroups and also a free news server,
news.microsoft.com, where you can find them.
