My company wants to use an access database and set it up on a web server so
that other companies can access this database via web browser and view the
information and eventually be able to enter data. Is this possible using
Access? is there an easier way to go about this? Any Help would be appreciated
Thanks

Yes.

To be honest, the Access part is the easiest. You'll need a good grasp of
ASP or another webserver language, a smattering of internet security
procedures, and excellent design and display skills.

The easiest, and probably the cheapest, way to go about it is to buy in the
skills, and to concentrate on making whatever it is that your company
makes.

Sorry it sounds negative! The truth is that if you had the skills necessary
to put the pages together, you probably wouldn't be asking here... and if
you don't plan to follow a career in web design and programming then it's
not likely worth your while learning enough to make a professional-looking
site.

Other people's MMV... :-)

Yes, if things are set up properly. I have MS Access capability with all
three web sites I have at this host.
