Smile Newbie asking for help.

Hi everyone!

Have been a longtime participant on several discussion forums over the years, so am quite familiar with using them. But I'm a complete newbie when it comes to administering one. I've been a database programmer for decades (Microsoft Visual FoxPro), so am somewhat computer proficient, but know next to nothing about forum software.

My boss today asked me to learn about this. He'd like me to administer one for him. In a nutshell, what do I need?

Thank you generously in advance!

dharmadan

Forum software are a piece of cake compared to DBMS, there's nothing to learn about phpBB, vB, IPB etc. PM me, I can teach it to you for a fixed amount
