Umm... you'd have to learn PHP for that, with a MySQL database.

If you just want to make a forum that will ask the user for data, consult this reference:
http://www.ynhockey.net/guide/htmlch7.php

Although you might want to read the whole guide.

As for displaying data that other users entered, you CAN use XML, but i'm really not sure how to append to an XML file (nor whether it's possible without good knowledge of XML).

PHP/MySQL is a much better choice though, I could give you the code if you want, but first, it's better if you get an understanding of how PHP works and experiment with it a bit...

Use www.php.net for reference.

I think you should be able to do all that in asp but I'm not sure it would be secure. Is it on your own computer or remote hosted?

that would be very easy to do with perl


http://www.cgi101.com/
that has a nice guide to show you how to do what you want.
you will need to have a host that has mod perl installed though.
