Question Can you use MSA Tables / data in Application such as Java?

Hi guys,
basically i have a database used for tracking reptile vivarium temperatures etc.. and species growth and i was wondering if i could make it more user friendly and distributable over the internet.
I have tried to make it look nice using modal dialog and navigation forms, but it doesnt look professional.


I was just wondering, if after all of the work i have done on it in MS access such as the tables / relationships and queries, it can be easily transferred into some form of Application written in Java or C etc..

Maybe a better question to ask is,
What would the best way to turn my database into a more user friendly application without all of the tables and MSA interface. I.e. its own application?

Rewrite?
or can MSA be used to do such things?

In short yes. You can connect to it using ADO but you cannot use inbuilt Access functions (Dcount, NZ etc etc).

ah ok great man thanks.
I did just look it up a little bit but i guess it will take more research.

can i just ask for some advice on a problem i am having?

i want my database to be able to store pictures that i have taken and somehow take the "date taken" parameter from the picture meta data,
so i can deduce a day of reptiles age, or how long since the start field.

i.e.
Date when reptile is born - date of picture = how many days old the reptile is.
So the database can document changes over dates / days of age.
