If I make an Access Database how would I make it work with the internet?

Question

If I made a basic access database which was capable of being used as the database for a forum/message board. What would I have to do to A: get it on the web, B, link up a website to the database, C: anything else I should know?

For adding information could I just use appends/updates within access? so if a user made a post it could append it to a "posts" table or whatever and if they notice a spelling mistake an update query runs?

All the databases I use at the moment are SQL with PHP and they're mainly for ready made scripts...though I have done a little LITTLE bit of PHP programming (forgotten it all now though). I assume i'd have to learn a bit of ASP for my idea to work? Also from what i'm aware i'd have to sign up for windows hosting to put it online (i'm not creating my own window's web server).

Answer 1

yes, you will need a basic windows hosting account. you will be able to upload your access database to the hosting account, then can start creating scripts that connect to the database. You can do this using classic ASP, or ASP.net.

Answer 2

information superhighway based company applications have the money for the corporate a decrease value of comprehensive possession. facilitates smaller companies to apply sofware that they'd many times no longer have the money for and ensures a secure offsite storage and backup of compamy information. a real plus for company who can't have the money for an IT branch.

Answer 3

You could do it with asp like this

but instead I'd recommend installing XAMPP which is MySQL and PHP.
