Re: Basic Question

You would need to creat a custom DNN module. There is a document on creating custom modules that can be is part of the documentation. You can also check out the DNN ASP.Net Portals book that has a couple of good sections on this and it is written by core team members.

Re: Basic Question

there are 3rd party modules for generic access to tables, have a look e.g. at AdvancedDataGrid from www.efficionconsulting.com, but be aware, that installing this kind of modules can implement a security hole, as any author will be able to access any table (including users and passwords) of your DNN installation.
