Posting MS Access Forms to the Web 1

[wally2321]

Hi! I am thinking about posting a form to a web site. The goal is to have a user post an issue via the web site. My question is pretty basic..

Is it possible to post a form to the web, which updates a database?

If so, after creating the form, how do I put the form on the web?

Thanks in advance for any help!

An Access database can be the back end for posting data via the web, but it is really not a simple process to post data to it. First of all, to use Access, the web server must be running NT or 2000 server. It is not going to work if the server is running Apache or other Unix/Linux/Variant Web Server software.

The forms are typically designed in HTML and use ASP code to talk to the database.
