I would love to publish my product catalog from my access database on a website. it should be a browsable catalog with search field on article number range, product group, product type and should be able to display product pictures.

Within my access database i have a link to the product picture stored by filename.

I'm looking for an easy solution to do this, i'm using mysql as database on my hosting provider.
I can do the export to mysql myself (interfacing between access and mysql) but am looking for some hot software to display the catalog easily without programming the front website myself.
I already have oscommerce installed but don't want a webshop and don't know how to disactivate all the features within oscommerce to only retain the article browsing.


Thanks if you have a hint

An Access forum is not a likely place to find help with web software.

If you are willing to pay to have the site developed, you might try some place like guru.com but be careful with your choice of developers.

Hi Pat,

As they also needed a website i've used a content management system.
As I don't lack any database skills i'm going to abuse a news category to automatically fill it with products. So with some fantasy it will work.
