does anyone know the answer
You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

No, you have to use something to connect the database to the website, and the
database has to reside on the same server as your website. You can achieve
this with FrontPage. However, be aware that Access does not handle lots of
simultaneous requests for data very well. If your website will be receiving
lots of traffic, you'll need to use something like MySQL instead. I think
with Access 2003, you can create a database and then upsize it to MySQL.

I cannot imagine Microsoft would offer a tool to upsize to MySQL!, you must
be thinking of SQL Server. This has existed since version 2000. However, all
it does is the data storage; it has nothing to do with setting up a website.
Access forms and website HTML although they share a few user interface
concepts are vastly different to each other.

I didn't mean that the Access forms could be used on a website with
FrontPage. They can't. And I was shooting in the dark when I said you could
upsize to MySQL. I knew I had seen something about upsizing databases to some
version of SQL in Access 2003, but I couldn't remember the specifics. And I
think I made all of this clear in my original post.

The answer is 'it depends'.
It depends, among other things, on what you mean by 'use Access in a web
page' (you can use an 'Access database' but not the Access application) and
on what data access technologies are supported by your web server or hosting
service. If your server or hosting service supports ASP.NET, check out
www.asp.net. If your server or hosting service supports the Microsoft
FrontPage extensions, try
