Access app to web app?

[Guest]

I consider myself to be an "advanced" Access developer, but I have had no
need to ever deal with data access pages or the like ...

I have developed a fairly simple '03 mdb application with 3 tables
(relational) several read forms, etc. The app works the way I want it to,
Now, I would like for it to be available to anonymouse web users to use it
the way it runs in Access.

I'm not expecting "forms" like I'm accustomed to in Access, but the same
functionality in a web page(s)

Am I too hopeful for a simple "conversion" with a few tweaks to get this
thing to run as a web based application? I've fiddled a little with a trial
sharepoint enabled site but this doesn't seem designed (or intended) for what
I have in mind.

P.S. I have Frontpage 2003 and I have also posted this same request in an
Access forum.

Thanks in advance

You will need to create a ASP/VBScript application that basically does the same as your Access
Application.

The only elements that can be accessed from your db is the
tables and the queries. This is generally done using sql
statements. FP also has some database wizards that will
wase the connections, but are limited in what they can do.

Thanks Thomas ...

In the Access group a user kind of echoed your reply as well ... so, looking
into asp.net, I found ..

http://www.asp.net/webmatrix

This looks "very interesting" and I'll give it a look-see. There seems to
be a number of bugs in this beta version, but for free I guess one can't
complain too much. Any comments regarding this?

You could go the ASP.net route (steeper learning curve)
or w/ Traditional ASP using VBScript (closer to the VB code you are used to)
For some samples see http://www.asp101.com/samples/
