Host Online, Link Images / Maps

[H J]

Is it possible to use something like Small Business Server to host an Access
database online? Also, how easy is it to link jpeg images to Access? So that
when a user clicks a button a jpeg is displayed?

How difficult can it be to convert an entire database to Visual Basic? Sorry
for the vague(ish) questions, I am trying to figure something out for a
client, and just beginning to research options.

Thanks.

One way that works pretty well for publishing Access databases on the
web is EQL Data: http://eqldata.com/

This is pretty easy. Just create the right column type in your
database and put a "bound image" object on your form. There's more

Access database files can be accessed easily from Visual Basic, but
you may have to redesign your forms, if you have any. It's not *too*
hard to do.

Have fun,
