I've tried to get help with this before but without success so far

I have a database that needs to be accessible to a few people through a
website interface. The plan is to store the database on one of our office
computers (we have ADSL internet) and then have users from home or other
offices connect to the database with the ability to update info and print
off reports

Problem is - I don't even know the first thing about doing this. I have
plenty HTML experience and some access experience (I built the database in
question) but I don't know where to go from there.

don't just say "use ASP" because I can't - I know I can export tables etc to
ASP but I don't know anything about HOW to do that and all the other stuff
involved etc.

I've been putting this off for ages, as I said, have tried getting answers a
couple of times but never got anywhere

PLEASE help!
 
There are a lot of good sites out there.
I have take in this task over the last year as well.
You have to learn html first.
Then some vbscript.
Then how to put it all together with asp.
Here are some sites I use regularly:

http://www.w3schools.com/ good site with overview of web building
http://www.asp101.com lots of free beginner asp samples
http://www.bullschmidt.com/DevTip.asp good developer tips
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vtorifunctions.asp
Microsoft's VBSript site
http://www.webf1.com/ScriptDoc/
http://www.connectionstrings.com/
http://www.learnasp.com/learnasp/
http://www.iisfaq.com/
http://www.iistoolshed.com/

It would good to be able to have a Windows 2000 or 2003 server to work on as
I do.
At least you need to have a Win 2000 Pro or Win XP Pro with IIS running.

email me at r o a d h o g a t p h r e a k e r d o t n e t and I can
show you
a couple of sites I run with Access and ASP.

If the users are employees, you may want to look into setting up a terminal
server for them to log into, in which case you won't have to do ANY web work
at all. If your database is already split into fron-end/back-end, then you
don't even need to change the db. I use this approach at one of my clients
and it works like a champ.
