You won't be able to communicate with your database using HTML. You will have to use a serverside language such as PHP, ASP, etc.

Just to add that I would advise against using Access unless it's for very simple use and few users. Use at least MySQL if other databases are not an option.

re: Using Database


Check to see what your host server has.
I would recommend MySQL and PHP.
Most sites you XAMMP to help you create a database and or PHP and SQL scripts

Note this is not an easy thing to do. You should learn it well before you
take on a live project. I would make a test server on your local machine.
Once you feel good about it then you can transfer your info into your host server and create you db (database).

just my two cents
