Creating a Message board

I'd like to create a message board in access. I also want it to act like a
message board, with replies to messages being grouped together with the
original post. I was able to create a form and a report that displays the
message board, but I can't figure out how to assign an ID to an original
post, and then link replies to that original post.
I've got a few ideas, but they would take a lot of trial and error, so I
wanted to see if there was an approach that has worked in the past.

Thanks

I saw something on the web about using Access as a backdoor DB for a PHP
message board. Is this the only way?

What about using subforms. I can get a subform to display underneath a topic
thread, however, I can't get this to work:

I want the user to be able to click a topic that they want to respond to, so
it brings up a form where they can type a message.

If this is something that can't work, can someone just say, "no, it can't
work".
I'll try and find a different way then.

Thanks,

Aaron
