My name is Eric and I am new to Microsoft Access. I used Access a couple of years back and mostly used basic Tables and Queries and link the data to Excel pivot table. I am interested in web design and want to know more about implementing database features on web pages.

Welcome to the forum, but be aware that Access doesn't support web activation these days. It did for a while but the feature was not well received. You could, of course, host an SQL-style back end like SQL Server, MySQL, ORACLE, etc. - and if you did, both Access and web pages could get to the same back end.

I Thank you all for welcoming me.

Thanks for the advice "The_Doc_Man". To maintain the web db I am looking at using Access via an OBDC interface to maintain the web db from my laptop. At the moment I am more familiar with Access than SQL or MySQL.

There is nothing at all wrong with that approach. Should be fine.
