Moving an Access database online?

[lokie538]

Hi,

I have a big Access database that I would like to move online. It has forms, reports, all that, but i want to be able to access it from a webfront, like via IE or firefox and also I would like multiple users to access it at once.

How would you approach doing something like this?? I presume it will mean a total recode? What software would i need to code this and run it? and also could it be hosted at yahoo or something like that (i dont have my own server).

Thanks!

You'll have a hard time to find an ISP supporting Access on their server.
I thought www.brinkster.c om does so, but I'm no fan to use Access on a webserver as it's not "stable" enough for the web as you can read in many articles.

The general tools available (for free) and supported by almost every ISP will be PHP and MySQL.

There will be converters to change Access forms/reports into webages, but when you use VBA code it will be better to rewrite your application. Solving the errors from the generated pages takes as much time as writing them from scratch.

Would a recode in php and the use of mysql work?? Will i still be able to do graphs and such?
