    Recommendations for a Web Integration Package for Access

    Hi:

    I have a small project pending where I need to have a data base on our ISPs server and a
    web interface to the database. At periodic intervals, I want to be able to either
    interrogate the data base from a local system OR have the web based system transmit an e
    mail containing critical database information.

    Its not a big project, but could get messy.

    Does anyone have a suggestions for the right package to use to integrate a small Access
    data base intro our current web site, which is html based?

    Suggestions gratefully accepted.

    Regards

    Even more to the point, is it a Windows server or a Unix server. If it
    is a Unix (incl. Linux) server, you are out of luck, as you can't run
    Access. If it is a Windows server, you have several options (in
    approximate order of complexity and capability):

    If an intranet (or you know that every user is
    using Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, you might
    look at Access 2000 or later's Data Access
    Pages capability

    The Database Interaction Wizard in combination with
    Microsoft Front Page 2002 or 2003 -- for simple
    database interaction

    A third-party product such as the Allaire/Macromedia
    Cold Fusion

    Creating an application using .asp or ASP.NET pages

    Good luck. Sorry this post sat, apparently unanswered for so long.
