Internet Forms

[DataForm]

I'm trying to set up a Web Page with a form on it and was
wondering if it was possible to connect the form to an
Access database.

Yes, some possibilities, in approximately ascending order of both complexity
and flexibility:

Use Access' Data Access Pages (see Help)

Use Front Page 2002/2003 and its Database Interaction Wizard

Use Macromedia's ColdFusion (formerly Allaire Cold Fusion) (or a similar
third-party product, if you can find one)

Use Microsoft's "classic" Visual Studio (Visual Interdev) to create .asp
web pages, or use Visual Studio.NET or Microsoft's free Web Matrix product
to create ASP.NET pages.

Which you need depends on how much you want to, or can, spend and how
complex your interaction and data handling requirements are.

Noticed your post. If I too were wanting to do this and specifically I have
a need to run queries and Macros on a web page, which product would be best
and easiest to use?
