novice Access web question

[burnfly]

Where does one start to look for information on what is needed to set up an online web form that can write to an Access database? I'd like to learn how I could possibly set up an online registration form for clients to use via a web page. I don't really know where to start, but I have seen some information on asp.net stuff. What's the easiest path?

TIA!!!

www.asp.net has plenty of tuts/downloads/examples...

Pat, spikepl, thanks so much for your replies and information. To be clear - I have no idea exactly what I need.? All I know, is that we use a MS Access database to set up competitions and I have been able to learn how to add and program our "scoring" into it. It's a split mdb database.

I'm not looking for a lot on a web side of things. I think. Ha. Much of what is used actually needs to *not* rely on an online connection (company travels and there's often no web available). However, it would greatly help things if clients could register their entries online and those could be written to the database (registrations are restricted prior to any event - it's not an ongoing thing per event).

"Not a lot" is not the right measure (like "not a lot pregnant"!) . Getting anything on the web from access is a severe complication (as opposed to nothing on the web).

If all you need is signing up for something then the simplest thing to do is to set up a sign-up form in any web hotel (most of them have such things), make the thing email them to some specified email, and read those mails from access.

Haha, I apologize for my noob-ness spike. ! Yeah, I have no idea how complicated this one thing is to do. Your email suggestion is not far off from what might be needed though, it's the correct idea. Clients writing in the specific data and that data getting into the database tables. Hmm.
