How to create an Access app with HTML and Javascript

[solartoys]

I need to write an app to enter company data into an access database and/or search for the company in the access database.

How do I accomplish these tasks using html or html5 or javascript?????

it completely would depend on a more concrete setup for the case you want to work on - like:

is it a public form?

what serverside programming language can/should be used?

what are the exact requirements for the form itself?

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the advice. It will be a public form. I expect to have about 1 million separate company records in the access database. I have written html and javascript since 1996. I have written cobol and acucobol since 1970. The form will be used to enter company info from 1 user and make it available to all users.

if its a public form then the form will have to be served by a webserver of some kind. Depending on how you want to approach it you can try to go with something like this:

or use your own stack like node.js with something like node-adodb as a server and making the db-connect from there to get data into and from a webpage and get/put it into the access db. similar approach can be done with an apache and php + odbc - and the list of options could be extended. so it will depend on your skillset and the available infrastructure as well.
