web pages created in Access to be used as input to the data base.

Hal

I would like to create a web page that would accept input from remote club
members and create a table or file in my database.
Is this possible?

Well, the first thing is that ms-access is not a web based system, so, it
not going to help you at all.

however, you can place a mdb file on a web server and then build a form in
some "web" system. What web system you use (or have now) you have to ask.
just like there is many different desktop database systems (FoxPro, Dbase,
ms-access etc), there is also many many different web development systems.
You have to pick a web development system that your web server supports now.

So, talk to your web provider as to what development system and tools they
support. Once they give you that information,then you can purchase the
appropriate training or expertise to build your web software. So, you have
to pick a web based platform to build software with. What tools you pick and
choose is well beyond the scope of this newsgroup. I suppose asp.net would
be a good starting choice.

Another possible way is to pick a web development tool, and then find a web
provider that supports those tools.

you could also consider setting up your own web server. While install the
software and starting up he web server is not too hard, the security issues
and exposing your company network to the web is a HUGE issue. if you don't
have years of experience on web servers, then it not likely your going to
risk attaching web server to your company network. (unless things like
files and email information on your computer is not important!!!). So,
exposing your company network to a web system is a real caution issue.

So, start with your web provider, and find out what development tools they
support (or go find a web development tool you like, and then a provider
that will let you run that software on their web server.

ms-access has no relation to web development tools.
