A question out of ignorance: We would like to post our database on the web for users to query and/or enter data (using a log-in process). Can it be linked to a back-end on our network server? Is it a difficult (complicated) process to set up (i.e. can a numbnut like me accomplish this?)? Are there resources you can direct me to for info on this (this is obviously unknown territory for me).
Thanks!

You'd better use Active Server Pages (ASP) to help. Just vist http://www.aspfree.com or http://www.asp101.com.

There are some good samples for you to start with.

These are the tools you need:

1. Thorough HTML and DHTML knowledge
2. Excellent ASP knowledge
3. JAVASCRIPT to simulate the intelligence of the ACCESS forms
4. CSS for the graphic interface
5. Intensive testing for performance and security, backup strategy

The list is definitely not complete but it should give you an idea of the complexity of this task.

Happy programming!
