Hello
I'm looking for a web based front end to put on my access database. Due to the way our work site is set up and the people who will be entering some of the data my boss wants it to be accessed through a web browser. Infopath wont let me enter data into an access database through a web browser and with DAPs becoming a thing of the past we dont really want to use them either. Some of the forms will be used for raw data collection while others will be used to fill out spill reports (i work in an environmental department) so we can get the information quickly. We have tried just using access to run everthing but have meet alot of resistance as most of the people who enter the data hate it. I also had someone enter half a spill report into an SQL sequence once..dont even know how he got there. That is the main reason we are looking for a web based data entry system. I dont believe my boss wants to use anything but access for the storage. So basicly we are just looking for a way for people to use a web browser to enter data into an access database. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I know you can use ASP, and I think you can also use PHP. I had a different website I liked, but can't find it now. This one also has some good info:
