I have a Windows Server 2003 system that hosts our email (Exchange) and web
site (IIS). I would like to be able to design a database application that
would run on our server and be accessible from the internet. Is there a way
to write an Access application and host it on the web with our server? If
not, what tool could I use?

I want to avoid having to write aspx code. I would really like to be able
to use a toll like Access. Thanks for any help.

No, ms-access has little, or nothing to do with the web. You could use a mdb
file for the asp pages and the web server, but you would not even have to
install ms-access on that machine, and you would be simply using the mdb
file to store/hold table data. Really, you might as well use sql server,
since using a mdb, or sql server to just hold tables for the web site is not
really different in terms of the work involved.

So, you have to find anther newsgroup..as this is the wrong place....

If you looking for a set of development tools, then I would suggest the
asp.net tools.


You can however remote use your ms-access appcation over the web,a nd have
users at home, or traveling sales people connect over the internet to use
your application, but we not talking about a web site however.

I explain how this works here:

And, the above does actually hint that you can run ms-access forms inside of
a web browser. This is possible, but you not really writing for the web, and
you don't have to change one line of code to have your ms-access run
"inside" of a web browser...but, it still not a web based appcation when you
do this.
 
We have SQL Server 2005. I am after a nice tool that would allow me to
design the user interface for a web-based database application. Are the
"asp.net tools" such a thing?

yes, those tools are. And, like I spent 5+ years learning ms-access, you
have to invest a good amount of time in any tool before you become
productive...
