Access reports/forms on web server; update locally

[saroy71]

Hi,

We have a client with an Access database with reports and forms located on her local computer. We are now putting it onto a web server so that her customers can access the database via web browser. She still needs to use the reports/forms in Access because it is beyond the budget to recreate them in web forms.

Can she use her forms and reports on her local machine updating and obtaining data from the external, web-hosted database? If so, how is this accomplished? If not, can you open reports/forms on a web-hosted Access database without having to download the database?

Thanks for any help!

What you are asking here is exactly what I am looking to do at this present time. I notice your post is a fwe months old. Have you figured out a way to do this yet? Any help would be appreciated.
