Use HTML to lookup Access database offline

[MatC]

Hi

I need to produce a website that looks at an Access database - but it will
be distributed on a CD to users who cannot browse the Internet. Basically
this will be an offline shopping cart - but instead of placing the order
online it will sent as an email attachment.

Can anyone advise if this is possible - without any simulated SQL servers,
etc - or is there a simple way. From what I have read I imagine this might be
quite difficult, but if anyone can offer some advice or pointers it would be
much appreciated.

Thanks

Mat

You can do it as a website using asp pages, but you'll need some web
components or CDO to send mail. If the entire app is built in Access, you
can save the data locally and have it automatically send the order(s) using
email, either as an attachment, or in the email body. Code for sending using
Outlook is on my website:
