Hi Marty

Thanks, lots of stuff at that site.
But again, apparently no mentioning of sites for casual testing.

I'm aware of the 30-days offerings around but I would prefer just a table or two I could retrieve from time to time - I have no intention of building a Sharepoint site. To me it looks like a tool for intra- and perhaps extranets only, not public sites - these seems to require massive hardware to run at just decent speed.

I don't know if you remember this guy Eli Robillard out of Toronto, he wrote up a series of asp wizards called GenericDB to quickly put up Access and ASP, his method even got an editorial  write up in Nature Journal as a quick method of disseminating scientific lab info.
But I guess he has moved on to Sharepoint, here is his Sharepoint Resources FAQ. maybe you can find something there.

There are several sites I can find that will give you WSS for around  $20 a month
I used one in Europe while it was still free in Beta, response time were less than a second to load someting like northwind size tables.
