Use HTML Tags to drag info from Access

sammybee, there are many ways to do that. To start with MS Acces allows HTML tags in the fields. So you can use the <a> tags in the Access records.
Depending on what server side scripting you use, you can just call the fieldname in the code, to display the link. In Coldfusion, you can do it as: <a href="#myLink#>Click me</a>, this will pull whatever "myLink" is from Access and display in the screen.

You can't do it with purely HTML tags, you need some kind of server-side language to query the database and put the results on a page. There are several such languages to pick from - ColdFusion, asp, etc...
An alternative approach that I've used in the past is to write code in Access to create a series of static pages that could then be uploaded. A bit of a pain, but a possibility if you can't use server-side methods.
