Are you talking about a page hat just lists your pages on your site or are you on about google sitemaps?

For both.

a google sitemap (http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login) has to be an XML file and is very strict on what indexes you can use.

To best advise you on how to make it really depends on your site. For example are pages dynamic or are they static, if dynamic what software do you use etc.

A normal sitemap we would need to know the same information.

Correct, and there are a few scripts/programs out there that will create your Google sitemap for you... if that's what you are looking for. Only one of them comes to mind atm however, believe it's called phpSitemap, or something similar. I'll have a look, and edit this post when I find a few... if this is the type you're looking for.

please post the link to that script SV as i think it would help me out, as i think it would be handy to make one of those as my site grows, and not when theres tons of pages more, even though there is a lot of pages already

This is a good one for ASP. It can create an xml sitemap from a db or a directory really easily:

Hope this helps
