Access 2003 and Frontpage 2003

[Guest]

I 'm looking at trying to web enable a database (Access 2003). It is laden with a significant number of forms for data entry and queiries. Can some one help me answer if Frontpage 2003 is capable of being my Web link to the data or should I work into something more powerful with say a SQL backend?

Access can be used, however the forms will need to be re-created to access the database via
server-side ASP/VBScripts or ASP.Net, etc. When using Access on the web, its database is really just
a storage container, and you are not actually running the Access application.

Hi Rob,

FP will not utilize the forms that you've defined in Access. You'll have to recreate them in FP.
