Access 2003 Pages; is this possible? 1

[Marsdbginner]

I am researching a solution to loose-ends in a particular aspect of our shipping department using Access 2003. I have been manually entering data from faxed loads for 6 months now [Carrier info, load weight, pallets etc] and have a need to make it possible for this data to be entered from the web buy the 20+ sites creating the shipments.

I have a couple criteria:
I need the data entered by the sites to populate tables in Access so that I can run reports etc.
I need the ability for the sites to build an order of multiple SKU's assigned to one site, truck, and date and submit it.

As my s/n implies, I am a low-level data entry slave and haven't found a way to make this possible using Data Access Pages and after searching several forums including this one I have to ask is this even do-able?

If so, please suggest somewhere I can learn so I can make this happen. If not, please point me in a better direction.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Data access pages suck because anyone who wants to access them has to be running MS software and have Office Components installed on their system. I consider them to be a failed attempt by Microsoft to get Access into the Internet game, and a waste of time because I can whip something up in Asp. and vb. net in about the same amount of time that will work anywhere. Perhaps others here have had different experiences. I would say that if you don't have the .net skills to pull this off, hire a contractor.
