If you are using Data Access Pages in Access 2000 they work whether or not a user has a licensed copy of Access. If you are using Access with CGI scripts the user is getting text information into and out of your Access data, also without needing a copy of Access, unless you expect them to be able to do something in Access with the information they have received or sent.

A bit more about Data Access Pages: The DHTML that Access generates for these pages requires tools that are a part of MS Office to use. Also, the use of Microsoft tools means that the Data Access pages require an IE4 or higher level browers, preferably IE not Netscape.
