We run an access data base on our NT server. We have other offices we want to use the DB. Our Web site is hosted elsewhere. We would have no problem with the DB hosted there also. We could download it to our home site daily and upload also if necessary. Question is..How do we convert our internal data base to be Web based??.It has about 15 tables and 20 screens. Some tables are relational and others are used for drop downs. Can be reached at 212 209 6032 Name is Jed

There is no "easy" solution - however, since you're already using Microsoft technology, you should use a Microsoft Solution.

I would develop a web based front end to the database using ASP. The database could be either Access or SQL (SQL recommended)...

In this manner, ANYONE can access the database, from ANYWHERE. You could build in authentication if needed.

Hope this helps!

Since you talk of downloading the db, replicating the db is a good idea too. Access help will guide you in replicating the db.
