WSS requires a Windows 2003 Server (or host running one)
Under the FP SE you can use Access as a Database and ASP (VBscript) to access it
For very limited functionality you can use the FP Database Results Wizard
(server based site running under IIS)
- more complex solutions require hand coding the ASP code
See FP Help on Database or

For your calendar see

For login thru a DB see

|I should never ask a question the answer to which I am bound not to fully
| understand. It's not that you use terms I'm not familiar with. It is just
| that I don't know how to implement, say, a custom ASP.NET. I do have Access.
| Should an Access db be placed in the website to store the data??
|
| In lieu of all that, can you either recommend a thrid-party template, or how
| to access Windows Sharpoint Services?
|
| Thank you for your help and, again, sorry for the duplicate post.
