Microsoft Access Forms Publish to the Web HELP

[kevo15]

Hey,
How would I take a form I made on Microsoft Access and publish it to the web using front page. What I am trying to do is get it so when I open up the link for the form it will show the form that I made on Access as a webpage so people can go in and register. I know you can make forms on front page but you cant do caculating. What I mean by that if this person selects something that is 10 dollars and another thing that is 5 then at the end it will show how much will be charged on the credit card. PLEASE I NEED HELP

To my knowledge, the best way to put an Access database on the web is by using ASP (Active Server Pages). You can't use the Access form that you created, because browsers read HTML, not Access forms.

Remember, that since it's Access, the number of users who can use it at the same time without slowdowns will be somewhat limited. Your best bet if you expect serious traffic on your site would be to use PHP and MySQL. You may want to use Access at first, and then if things grow beyond Access' capabilities, migrate to MySQL.

If it's just for a small group of users whom you know (let's say they are all within the same company) then you can try using Data Access Pages.

So, you have a few choices of technologies to investigate, depending on the expected usage.

I hope this helps.
