    Access Database To Web Server

    Hello everyone,

    I've been designing databases for some time now and want to take it to
    the next step.

    I am looking for information on having Access databases be accessible
    through the Web.

    Would someone be kind enough to give me some information in the right
    direction. For instance, what front end should I use? Any
    information on setting up the web server and what the requirements
    would be? Any recommended readings?

    The databases that I will be creating will be accessed from people
    within the company and via the Web (for the sales reps).

    Thanks,
    Brian

      Easiest way for remote access is to use Terminal Services but if you're
      looking for real web enablement then look to ASP (AKA ASP 3.0) or ASP.NET

      ASP.NET would require you have VB.NET or Visual Studio .NET to develop
      in, ASP 3.0 requires a minimum of Windows Notepad or Edlin if you're old
      enough :-)

      Both require IIS for the server bit of course.

      I find Visual Studio 6.0 good for writing ASP 3.0 as it gives you
      intellisense and syntax colouring. FrontPage only colours HTML, a good
      text editor to use is ConTEXT (http://www.context.cx/) and download the
      ASP highlighter (http://www.context.cx/hl/asp.chl) and put into the
      highlighters directory.

          If you're in a masochistic frame of mind you can develop asp.net
          applications in notepad as well :)
