Creating an Intranet site with adjustable calendar

[SpecSys]

My company does not have our own mail server, we use offsite hosting. We want to create an intranet where everyone can log in, check project status, see technical notes, update computers with ease, and also see scheduled events. Is there a way to either build a simple table calender that can be added to by anyone. Say you could click on a date and a form would be presented to you where you could fill in a new event for that day and then save and have it appear on the website. Would this require a database, and if so, which one? Would ACCESS work? We have this program and I think that we would not purchase new software for our intranet.

Checking project status among other things would require a DB. Using Access would depend on the number of users. Another DB option would be MYSQL its pretty inexpensive its free, at least last I heard it was. AJ
I would lose my head if it wasn't attached.

IMHO the best thing to look at would be a combination of PHP and mySQL.
You can run both on Win32 or Linux, and both can be obtained freely.
If you must use access, PHP has ODBC drivers that should work with access.

It's definately the least expensive (and in my opinion easiest) route to go.
