Can I link to tables in an access database on a web server? (1 Viewer)

[MatMac]

Hi

I maintain a multi-user Access database split into front and back ends. The front end contains some rather complex reporting systems.

I would like to create a simple web-based front end to this database for users to enter data, but also need to permit a couple of administrators to access the data via the original Access front end in order to run the reporting systems. I plan to create my simple web-based interface using ASP.NET.

Is it possible for me to set up my original front end to link to the data tables, if the back end is placed on a web server? (As it would need to be to permit the web-based interface to operate.)

If so, how, and are there any other issues I need to consider?

Many thanks

Mat

mat,

just thought i'd mention this...

the only thing i've done with access data on the web is displayed data tables by setting up DSN connections. this is quite easy, as a google search will yield this for you.
