Putting an Access 2.0 database on the internet

[StevenJ]

I have an Access 2.0 procedure database that I would like to put on my company's intranet. I haven't worked with putting an Access database on a web-page and I would like to know how to do it.

If you really want to stick with the "old" A2 format (I will always love it!) then you have to try whether it is possible to read/write/delete the data with ASP (or PERL?). It works very well with the A97 and A2K MDB format and chances are high that it works with the A2 format, too.

If you upgrade to A2K you can use the Data Access pages instead of ASP(provided that you have IE installed).

I'm surprised you haven't run into unexplained issues with 2.0. It is not Y2k compliant.

I would suggest upgrading to A97 at least. There's a great site

http://www.ASP101.com

with heaps of stuff on how to do this (but I would steer clear of the built in Publish to the Web Wizards!)

I don't see why not. I am using an Access 2 database via VB 6 and ADO with no problems at all. As to the y2k thing. I can't see any problems with that either, what is supposed to be wrong. Peter Meachem
