I am working on an electronic flashcard application. I have one
version up and running using Visual Basic (6.0) and Access 2000.
My long-range plans are to put it up on a website and sell
subscriptions. But that is probably 2-3 releases away. In the
meantime, I would like to put it up on the website for testing.
I have been reading here and elsewhere that Access is not suitable for
a web-based implementation. Is that because is was designed for a
single user (on a desktop) and cannot handle more than a few
simultaneous users?
Assuming that Access is not the right tool, what is?
I will be hiring a contract programmer to implement the database so my
personal learning curve is not a factor.
Is there an intermediate capacity database program that I could use
that wouldn't require a 10-person department to support and maintain?
For the foreseeable future, I probably only need something that can
support a few hundred simultaneous users. If I exceed that, I will be
flush with cash and I'll hire the 10-person department. ;-) I just
need something to get me from here to there.
Thanks
