Hi.

Maybe an ASP coder will drop by and help you out with that.

From my point of view, you are doing this the hard way though. There are plenty of ASP CMS out there, both free and commercial. What is wrong with one of them? A lot of people have been down the road you are on - why do all that work again, when it's there for you on a plate, for free?

Why not try one of these ASP / .NET CMS: 
DotNetNuke, Umbraco, Codeplex VWD-CMS, N2 CMS.

They probably all do that you need; and they have plugins available as well. That's crucial with a CMS, the core app doesn't do much, normally. Just text publishing, but you will soon need more than that.

In your place I would choose the database arrangement first, then a CMS to suit that. There are 3 choices:
1. MySQL, if that has been installed on your IIS server.
2. Microsoft SQL Server - again, if that's installed.
3. A flat-file DB (just a text file in the webroot). Can be used when there is no proper DB.

Don't use the MS Access PC database of course, that's easily hacked, it can't be hardened for use on a server.

Good luck.
