Multiple-User through internet browser

I am trying to create a database such that everyone in my company will be able to access it, but without having to install access and put a link to the DB on every computer. Ideally, I would like to have some sort of web applet that uses the DB on a central server and allows users to add and modify entries without having to know anything about Access.

Any help would be appreciated

allows users to add and modify entries without having to know anything about Access.

If you build a proper application and prevent user access to the database container, the users won't need to know anything about Access - only you will. Good Access applications present only forms and reports to the user. The user NEVER sees tables, queries, macros, or code.

Access, actually Jet, isn't the best choice as a database server for a web application. If you are going to develop a web application with asp.net or something like that, why would you ever use Jet tables? Use SQL Server or if you can't afford that, use MySQL.

Or, if you can't afford SQL you can use MSDE (Microsoft Desktop Engine) now known as SQL Server Express. It's free.
