Accessing a DB from Corporate Intranet

Sorry for the obvious question ... where can I obtain reasonable info on how
to enable an Access 2003 DB to be available for read access from a corp
internet. I need to be able to provide selection access as well using
queries. No write update

YOu should look into the built in capability for building Data Access
Pages. All users will need to be able to access the database through
the LAN for this to work. Probably your most straightforward option.

Forms can be converted to DAPS although they are limited in the amount
of sophistication.

Good luck!

Forget Data Access Pages! They are highly inefficient. I would use an
ASP/ASP.NET front-end to your access backend. Data access pages are
limited and require IE to work.

If you have no knowledge of ASP, you can use Dreamweaver to develop the
pages although the ASP code generated by Dreamweaver is weak. At least
it will get you started.

Don't overlook Visual Studio Express. ASP.NET, especially with Version 2.0
of the framework and 2005 of Visual Studio, is ...almost... as easy as
putting together Access forms. (It's far more powerful, of course, just not
as easy to put together.)

Did I mention that the Express versions are free? Remember MSDE -- free SQL
Server 2000? Well, SQL Server Express is free 2005. More important (for
your situation) Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition » is free Visual
Studio. Lightweight, but not a bad start.

However, with discussions from the contractors we hire (from corporate backgrounds) they inform me that i won't survive in corporate atmosphere. I am bright...

I'm running ASP on IIS 5. My users who are on the network can access our database. Any users from the internet "outside" the network can't access it. We don't have a firewall. Our Windows Server crashed and ever since then its been a problem. Any suggestions. I think it is a setting in IIS. Thanks. ERoessing@pacificdesignstudios.com

I'm posting and reading these forums through www.AccessMonster.com, but from other people's posts, I get the impression that many (if not most) other people seem to be accessing the same data through a newsgroup - a lot of the mistakenly categorised posts seem to be coming from there too. I'm not very familiar with how newsgroups work - would I be better off connecting to this forum through there, and if so, how do I get started? -- Message...
