Don't use Access if you can possibly avoid it. It's not suitable for anything
more than very basic web applications. You will have to do all communication
with the database via OLEDB connections and SQL directly to the Jet engine.
Your database will have to sit on the web server. If for any reason the
database locks up, which can happen easily with an Access DB, your website
will grind to a complete halt.

It depends on what technology your company has and what they use for web
development. Different places use different things. You need to be familiar
with whatever database is to house the data (usually Oracle, SQL Server or
MySQL) plus the method of developing the web pages which could be ASP,
ASP.NET, PHP etc.
