Using Access to password protect Frontpage web site, document, fil

[BrianPaul]

Using Access 2003, Frontpage 2003, Was reading that it was possible to use
MS Access to password protect a web site. Anybody ever tried this? If so
could someone get me started in the right direction. Using IIS to
expierement with and personal web server in Windows XP. Instead of setting
up accounts through XP I would like better to build a form in access that I
could enter username and passwords. with. I downloaded ISS Keeper which uses
access database also which it pretty nice program, however; would like to
give it a try and do it myself. THanks, any info greatly appreciated

I don't believe the above information is correct, I've never heard of
anything like this.

In fact you're not really using access, but you're using what's called the
jet database engine.

But you're not writing code using MS access for that web site. You're not
building reports in MS access for that web site. You're not building forms
in MS access for that web site. So, you are not using any of the tools in MS
access to build any of part of your website.

unfortunately access has absolutely nothing to do with web based creation
software and systems. You can not use access forms on the web, you can note
use access code on the web, you can note use reports on the web. So, access
is the wrong technology, the wrong programming language, and the wrong tool.

Simply put MS access is not a web tool at all.

going back several versions. Thanks for the enlightment. mabey oracle may be
the solution.

You were using ASP pages + jet. You did not have to install ms-access on
that
web server for the software to run.

You are confusing a database engine like JET, mySql, or Oracle. That called
a database engine.

However, you can't build forms with MySql, or JET or Sql Server
They are simply a data store system, but do NOT allow you to
build the web part.

You NEVER needed to install ms-access to make those asp pages function.

You not using any of the tools from ms-access here. You can certainly place
a mdb file on the web server, but it not using ms-access anymore.

So, if you use sql server, MySql, jet etc they will NOT allow you
to build web based applications. To do that, you will use asp,
asp.net..or whatever <insert your favorite web based system here>

So, you are not using ms-access here, you are using the JET database engine.
That is a grand canyon of difference then using ms-access.
