asp.net vs asp Options

This is a basic overall question. Please note I am new to ASP!
I am currently running IIS 5/Access 2000/Windows 2000 and have developed a web application.
From what I have been told, to really emulate a master/detail form, the best way would be to use ASP.net to do so.
1. is that true?
2. if so, does ASP.net run against Access or SQLServer?
3. what would I need to purchase to emulate this?

Thank you for your help.

Yes.

You can get ASP.NET for free from http://www.asp.net/.

There is a built in control called a DataGrid which, with some work, can be
setup to do this.

Both and more.

Assuming you have .NET, you would not need anything else.
