web publishing of a database

[leaf]

Hi there,

I am looking into ways of migrating my database built in
ACCESS to web-based database system so that people can log
onto our company web page, click on a database and enter
data from a web page.

I want to know what steps will be required for such
migration, whether ACCESS is a good product to serve the
above purpose.

Someone where I work suggested FileMaker. Has anyone of
you used the product? And what do you think of the
product?

Many thanks in advance,

I have some friends who developed a medium traffic site
built around an access database and pasta primavera.
Their site goes out religiously, they've lost large
quantities of data (including member list of subscribed
members) and basically have spent three years applying
duct tape and moving forward none at all.

Yes, you can but if you expect any sort of performance or
a fairly decent number of visitors I strongly advise you
consider a more robust solution. Access is great on your
PC, or even in a LAN scenario but it's really not the
right tool for the job.
