How do I integrate A database with webpages?

[Sovietwigglything]

I am currently working on a project that requires me to integrate an access
database with A webpage for my school's alumni assoc. I've got Access, mySQL
and knowledge of SQL. What more do I need in the way of programs and/or
knowledge, and how should I implement them?

You are really asking a web development question. The answer depends..
Microsoft FrontPage is a place to start. I has tools to link into an Access
Database
other web authoring tools also provide the ability to link into several
databases, including MySql and/or Access. But in all cases it really
depends on how you want the site to work. The simple case is you want to
pull some data out of access and display it on a web page. The complex case
is you want the user to be able to edit the data. In both cases you end up
trying to keep track of code that runs on the server and code that runs on
the client's browser and how to display the information.

A knowledge of some but not all of the following is useful:

ASP (active server pages)
XML
XSL
XSLT
HTML
JavaScript
VisualBasicScript
Web Services
......many many more

I use Visual Studio, and Web Services to do this type of work, others use a
different tool set.

So maybe if you provide more details someone can help.

It is, as you described, a simple case. The last thing needed is ability to
edit online. The project, as told to me, was just for the ability to view the
database.
