I'm a newbie to web programming and I have a client interested in implementing an intranet. They would like multiple geographic locations to be able to access the site and run reports from an access database. Is there a way to have the client machine submit information to run the access report but actually have the database connection established and report processed on the server where the database is located and only deliver the report data to the webpage (client machine)? We don't want a connection established from the client machine. I know you can create a form on a webpage to collect information and I know you can convert reports to asp in access. I guess what I'm missing is the middle piece - what to use to connect to the database and how to get those results back to the page. Would the code reside on the webserver or the server where the database is located? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks.
