I am interested in using Access to create an RPG game for use on the
internet. I have some questions; -
1) Is this possible by using the webpage application on Access to post the
game on the net?
Not really. MS access has something called data access pages (but users
need pieces of office installed, and the whole thing really didn't work well
at all).
In a nutshell MS access is NOT a development tool for the web. is really the
wrong tool of choice, and my answer to use you that you're going down the
wrong road if you're trying to use MS access for web development, it's
simply not the tool for that kind of purpose and has really no facilities to
enable you to build web based systems.
2) Is there a template I can get which I can use to give me ideas?
3) Is there anywhere I can get support with the game developement?
as far as game development, while here's a fantastically well written
example of space invaders:

While the above is a near perfect game rendition of the arcade game space
invaders, for the most part MS access is not designed for developing games
at al..
so we have:
For web based stuff, MS access IS NOT a web developuument system and is the
wrong tool .
For game creation, once again it's the wrong tool and it's inappropriate.
If you're looking to develop a web based application, then I suggest you use
the.net tools (asp.net etc.).
