Creating a Message board

[Guest]

I'd like to create a message board in access. I also want it to act like a
message board, with replies to messages being grouped together with the
original post. I was able to create a form and a report that displays the
message board, but I can't figure out how to assign an ID to an original
post, and then link replies to that original post.
I've got a few ideas, but they would take a lot of trial and error, so I
wanted to see if there was an approach that has worked in the past.

Thanks

I saw something on the web about using Access as a backdoor DB for a PHP
message board. Is this the only way?
