I am very new to MS Access and dynamic websites, but have been reading
about them on and off for over 6 months, and have a some questions.


Some Background:

I have an existing Access database that I have been thinking about
putting on the web so individuals could update certine information on
their own (address, e-mail, phone, ect.) reducing our need to update
the info, and allowing for quicker transition time.

1) Could anyone sugest some good websites that could provide me with a
place to get started?

2) Is it possible to use php as the go between for the database and the
web? The database needs to remain portable as we do not have access to
the internet during certine events where information from the database
needs to be accessed printed and updated.

3) Any other information that is avalable would be greatly appriciated

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
 
avoid Access like the plague.

PHP is a great language.. i reccomend mysql.org

i mean-- at least mySql fixes bugs when developers find them.

MS is on crack and doesn't take MDB seriously.
 
The problem is we already have a ms access database, and like I said we
need it to be portable, and the portable version needs the same
functionality as ms access
 
The problem is we already have an MS Access database with 3000 names in
it, additionaly the portable version needs to have the same
functionality as Access
 
3000? how dare you take mdb to the limits like that; i mean.. IT'S
SOOOOOO DANGEROUS to keep your data in mdb format.. it's impossible to
secure

do you guys read the headlines about people leaving a laptop in a taxi;
and next thing you know 100,000 people are compromised?

the problem there is ACCESS.

keep all your data in one place-- in the corporate db server
instead of emailing around spreadsheets all day long; grow up and take
data security seriously
