I have an Access 2000 database. I would like to be able to make information
in this database available to different users through the web. The users
would need to enter different passwords to be able to access the info. Also
the users would need to be able to view, update and print reports. What is
the best way to accomplish this?

If you want them to run the Access database (as seems to be implied by
"print reports") then Windows Terminal Services over a Virtual Private
Network is likely what you'll want to do. If you'll search the archives at
http://groups.google.com of this newsgroup and the USENET newsgroup
comp.databases.ms-access for those terms, you should find some good posts --
there are several posters who are very knowledgeable on the subject,
including but certainly not limited to David Fenton and MVPs Albert Kallal
and Arvin Meyer.

If you just want them to access the Jet database, there are a whole range of
options, from simple but limited to complex but flexible.
