I am just trying to find the easiest, idiot proof way of creating a webpage to view and enter data in one basic table.
This if for my husbands company and I really don’t want to get involved with the stupidity that is inevitably going to be involved in this. Too many people with no clue not knowing what they want and changing their mind every 5 minutes.
So if I can set it up so their website can just host an Access database and use Access design elements to create the webpage I can wash my hands of the whole thing.
But for some reason I just can’t seem to figure it out? Anyone have a good tutorial, or has done this before and can help me out?
Their webserver hosts a virtual Microsoft Server 2003, if that helps?
Thanks.
Its brainless but you should check with your hosting provider because they prob give you SQL for free. Even though its overkill for your application it won’t be apt to corrupt like Access and Access wasn’t developed for the web or multiple users.
It was developed to be part of the Office suite for personal use.
Here’s a better suggestion for a database.
For a Free Database:

The program to build your app:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa718378.aspx
to practice with and then copy it straight to your SQL Server. Or just use it locally from one of your machines.
Access uses a watered down version of VB so if you can program in Access you’ll like this.
