Using Access Database on Web

[Fozi]

Hi folks,

I'm a compentent Access user but know nothing about web applications. My client has approached me about the possibility of putting a system I developed in Access on the web so they can use it anywhere.

Is there a way this can be achieved through the use of a third party application requiring minimal web development skills? If so please let me know.

Thankful for all advice.

You could use Citrix or another terminal service and do absolutely zero programming.

Not sure how you'd get by with minimal programming skills otherwise.

I'm not 100% on this but I think

ASP allows you to interact with any ODBC-compliant database, like MS Access Often times developers are connecting to a SQL Server database, but there are many who are connecting to Access databases as well.

You will have to read the database with either php or asp.

I would hit google for some simple connection strings and then copy/paste your sql queries into the php/asp script to mimic your program.

From my experience there are more php tutorials.
type (connect to access database with php)

There are millions of tutorials out there.

That is if you will be hosting the website internally off the company server. Otherwise you will require an alternative to connect to your database. Possible migration to sql server.

Hope it helps
