Hi,

I am currently developing a final year project which is a web based
tracking system tracking exam questions. I am using IIS as the
server, MS access for the database, and ASP with VBScript for the
scripting side of things.

One of the things I want to do would be to e-mail a user/moderator
whenever a exam question is edited/completed/updated. is there anyway
that access can automatically send an e-mail (maybe through outlook0
whenever an update is made to the database?

No. SQL Server can do this kind of thing I think.

However in this case you're just using Access to store the data and not do any
processing. You need to figure this out inside ASP.
