Using Access through a Web Server

Hello,

I've built a DB I would like to use in an Intranet through web, this
way a small group of people can gain access by typing the address in
their browser. It is a small DB, with a few tables. I've built a
couple of Web pages using Access (2003), and later an index with both
links to the pages, using Word. Well it works. But as soon as I try to
make it work through a web server (I've tried with the free ones
first, like Apache or Abyss, and later with IIS from Microsoft), and
was unable to run it properly. It doesn't allow me access to my DB. I
wonder what the problem is, and how to solve it. I was unable to find
information about this subject. Please, I need help. I don't know
about programming either (because I think this way I could solve
it...)

Thanks a lot,

KS.

You are trying to do something that is not supported by either Access or the
web servers. If you want to remotely execute an Access database on the
server over the web you'll need to use Microsoft Terminal Services and/or
Citrix Metaframe, or similar. Or, you could use Front Page with the
Database Interaction Wizard to create a web-based database application, or
the Expression Web successor to Front Page; or third party software such as
Adobe (formerly Allaire) Cold Fusion (that requires a CF server, which is
not even close to free); or create a web app using ActiveX Server Pages,
..asp or ASP.NET, or several other languages which have support for
ODBC-compliant databases.
