For this you do not need a database....you can link to the files directly and load them into a textarea then make changes and save them with a submit button.As far as applying formatting and styles you will need a rich text editor control to place on the textarea.Also I recommend upgrading your version of .Net there is 1.1 and 2.0 now...2.0 has alot of new features to make repetitive tasks easier, better security, etc.
