placing an access database on the web/server

[Miethr]

I have a database with a couple of search forms to use for my company. My boss wants me to place this on the intranet so anyone can use it not only those with MS Access, which many people do not have on their computers. Please let me know if there is a way to do this and still make it interactive by means of searching. Thanks

Not easily.

Given that time = money, and depending on the number of people needed, it is often cheaper to do one of the following:

1. Give everyone a copy of Access

2. Find an Access Developer's Kit (search the web or bite the bullet and search the Microsoft site). Build your DB and distribute the run-time portion of Access that comes with the ADK.

3. Use CITRIX to have everyone access Access on a central server.

None of these are without business risks and costs. I cannot make the decision for you as to which is right for you.
