I can create a web form and even make it display records over our intranet
but despite add, edit and delete being set to true it is never possible to
use a web form to change data.

Does anyone know if this can be done and also of any good books or other
trainig aids for a user wanting to enable external customers to submit
feedback via a web page and als view their own previous postings?

I think you have to create a shortcut to the db and then point the URL from
your web page to the shortcut (lnk) and then it should work on your
intranet.

I am working on a similar problem, trying to use Access Data Access Pages as
the frontend to an mdb (I've split the frontend from the backend and linked
the tables). I'm able to input and retain data from my web page (on my
computer atleast) but _only_ input from my computer. And the above trick
dosent work. So far I can't figure out how to convert my db to SQL and
upload it (I think that will help) but I think I need the server address.
