Converting Access 2k to Web

[D]

Hey guys- not sure where this post fits in, so I cc'd a few other groups as
well- hope you dont mind...

I have someone creating a database for me in Access 2000 (or is it called
XP?). When it's all done, I'd like it to be online via the web. Ultimately
I'd like just an online database accessed via ASP, PHP, CGI, etc- something
(doesn't matter) but where various employees can access the thing from
anywhere and do their work. It's been quite a while since I've programmed,
and my programmer doesn't know how to make it accessible on the web. How
easy/hard is this process? Beyond just the tables and a few forms, it will
have a NUMBER of queries setup. Is this a process, or fairly simple? Is it
even possible, or, do I need to find another developer to handle it and just
create it online to begin with?

Here's one more thing- I have seen a buddy do the same thing- his work
around was just doing the virtual/desktop sharing thing. He setup a mini
'server' on his pc, so you log in via the web. Then that automatically
allows you to use the Access database via desktop sharing. This COULD work,
but I get how it's not the best setup to go with. Your thoughts?
Thanks

You have basically two options,
Easy Way: Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Connections
Hard Way: ASP
If you use ASP, all of you forms will need to be created using ASP/HTML
Basically all you will be able to do is use the tables and some of the
queries from the Access Database.
You will need an ASP capable web server to host the database and web pages.
It is a pretty daunting task, I have switched from classic access to asp
over the last 2 years.
You apps will be faster over the web, no ms office overhead.

Oh jeez- I was afraid of that. Hmmmm... can you explain how the Terminal
Services deal works? Can an employee login from home, upload some files
from their machine locally to the Access virtual database, and then enter
data as well? How does that work if there's more than 1 person using the
database at the same time? That MIGHT be an option...

Thanks for the reply and links- I'll check those out as well. My problem is
my programmer doesnt know ASP and whatnot, soo... Im stuck using him, or,
fidning someone else for the job. I'm open to either, I just need this done
asap.
Thanks again!

D,

With terminal services you would have windows server with however many
client licenses you need terminal services. A user would access the server
over the web and log in, just as they would to a Windows Domain. Each user
would have a profile on the server with a copy of the front end of the
database on their desktop. It would interact with the backend placed
somewhere on the server. This is a common setup. You would also have to
have access installed on the server. Access is a multi user RDMS therefore
no problems for more than one user.

Forgot to reply to the upload data issue. That is a bit more complicated.
I would probably
lean toward asp to do that. Terminal services does not natively offer a
file transfer process,
although there are server freeware add-on apps to do it. I guess it could
be done....

Before you go much further, I'd advise you to consider what server options
you have available.
If you're not using a Windows server, there will be extra costs in
supporting even ASP.
If you have a Windows server, but no Terminal Server, or no licenses, be
sure you factor those costs (and the time/costs of getting them set up) into
your project costs as you consider that alternative.

If your web hosting is a purchased service (you're not hosting this
in-house), you'll need to know what your provider can offer- and whether
that will change the price you're paying.

Without knowing these things, it would be difficult to make a decision on
whether to build a web-enabled front end for your tables/queries, or to use
an Access front-end over a Terminal Server.

BTW -
Whichever route you go, you can include as many queries as you like in
your back-end; they will be available just like the tables.

So let me get this right. Each 'employee' would have a copy of the front end
of the database on their own computers. Then, they do this Terminal Services
thing, tap into my server for the backend database. So, they have all their
forms and whatnot on the front end, sitting on their local machine, then,
the database itself, tables, etc will be sitting on the server. So, using
their front end forms/reports, they can tap into the backend (on the
server), access and modify records, export, import, create reports, etc
which will change on the backend.

Do I have this right?

How does the terminal services deal work? Is it just say, an IP address and
a password or something, and they login and now have access to it? Are
there any OS restrictions for the front end, or, will they all be able to
use the front end on XP, 2k, etc?

Last question- what do you charge per hour? Would you be up for creating a
system via ASP on teh web?
Thanks!

Going with the Terminal Service route- how fast/slow is this? How prone is
it to crashing? Is there a limit to a # of users at one time? Will it run
slow if there's 2-3 people working in it at one time from different
locations?
Thanks!
