Servers, Webpages, and Access

[Jonjon]

Hi I was wondering if you had a form for Access on a webpage posted on the
internet, would you need Access and the database to be on a server in order
for the ISP's server to connect to it and update the new information? Or
could you just have the ISP's server connect directly to a regular
computer/operating system?

If you want to use a web browser as a front-end you do not need Access
forms. Instead, use an ASP, or ASP.NET front-end application. Access does
not lend itself well to Internet applications. If you only have a few users,
you might consider using Terminal Services instead of the web.

Thanks Arvin,

I'm looking into using asp.net to put it together for me. Thanks a lot.
I'll keep the Terminal Services in mind for internal users as my company
grows. I'll be using the web form for the public to access and fill out
applications.

Thanks again,

Paul
