i have created a database for our company that incorporates business
information and that is only accessible for users on our network. however, I
wish to make the database available online so that our regional offices
across the globe can also view the information. How do I go about setting up
this service? Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I have answered this several times lately. There should be lots of info in
this NG and in comp.databases.ms-access.

In short there are two options:

1) Set ups a Terminal Services or Citrix server that you off site people can
log onto and run your existing Access App.
2) You need to write the necessary user interface in a web scripting
language such as ASP.NET and publish the full site (including database) to
your web host.

HTH,

J,

We already have an "intranet" in place so that our other offices can view
company information. However, I wish to know if my database can be exported
to web format and published on the intranet site? Thanks again.
 
Ther is no way to export the forms, reports, etc. to "Web" format. You will
need to use option 2 and create a user interface with a web scripting
technology such as ASP.NET which can see the data in your Access database
table.
 
1) Set ups a Terminal Services or Citrix server that you off site
people can
log onto and run your existing Access App.

For that option do you need to do a FE/BE thing? Wouldn;t it be a
problem if one person has the database open and locked when others need
to use it?
 
You should always do the FE/BE thing. Especially if there is going to more
than one person accessing the application.
