Get internet leads into main DB

J

JBiggsCC

We currently have an Access 2003 DB locally which stores client
information for internal use. We have another DB sitting out on a
website which collects leads. We then have an automated procedure
which ftp's to the site, downloads the DB and uploads a blank DB. The
information is then imported into the main DB using an import tool in
Access.

This is obviously not an ideal situation and there are often problems
if someone is trying to input new leads while the ftp is happening.
Is there a more efficient way to do this? ADP or linking to the
internet DB as a temporary table?

We may be switching over to a PHP/mySQL solution in the near future if
that in any way affects someones response.
