Making an access database available online
Hi all,

Is there an easy way inwhich I can make a work database availble online?

I thought of just using a webserver and keeping it on there, BUT work only want to have certain information pulled from it to be displayed to certain companies / people.

For example, one of the databases is a first aid @ work one. They want to allow companies to see their employee's details on when they did the course, what type of course it was and when they need to renew the course.

We have all this information stored in various tables and the database does reports for companies and stuff, I asked them why we couldn't just upload the info manually but they want it to be all automatic (understandably).

I have no idea where to start, would i need to use php or asp? or is there any software out there that does it for me lol.

Any advice on where to start would be really great thanks

Matt

Matt, it depends on which version of Access you running, if it Access 2000-2003 you can use an "Access Page" to display the data. An Access Page is a special html Form that can be used on the web.
Access 2007 uses a Sharepoint site, see this article
