Sharing back end over the web

[Guest]

I am using MS Access 2000 and I want to be able to share the back end over
the internet. I am behind a firewall also. Can you please let me know how
this can be done.

Thanks,
Eric

How many people are you wanting to share it with? Using your access database
to drive a website is not an easy task that can be explained by saying step
1, step 2, step 3.

Do you have a webserver that you are going to use in house or are you using
a web host provider? Are you planning to develop ASP, ASP.NET or something
similar?

Are you just wanting to put the MDB file out on the web so people can
download a copy?

Are you trying to use Data Access Pages?

Please give us some more information to be able to help you.

You do realize that high speed internet is about 100 times slower then your
typical office network...right?

You can't run ms-access as a "split" database over the internet with much
success.

However, there are a number of solutions to this problem..
