I have a small database I use to keep track of the people that work
for me (about 200). They work all over the region and are divided
into a few work groups. I need to know every day that they are
working where they are supposed to. Having each of these people call
me is not the way I would prefer to muster them. My ideal solution is
to make this database information available available on my command's
web page. They would be able to log onto the web page and click in a
box to tell me what they are working on (i.e. report 1, report 2,
project 1, etc...) Since this database has some personal info in it
(SSN's, etc..) a password would be needed. I am an intermediate user
with a little knowledge and the tricky part as I see it is getting the
info on the web page to update my database in real time. I use MS
Frontpage for my Web Page. Do you think this is even possible? I
don't want to waste my time if it's not. Maybe you in the group won't
mind giving me your opinion on this project. I'm not asking you HOW,
just IF you think it will work. Of course, any knowledge you would
like to share would be much, much appreciated. Thank you for your
time.
 
Yes, it is possible. It will depend on what database and server-side scripting language is support
by your live/remote server. Then you need to learn how to write the custom application or hire
someone to do. The database on the web should only contain the info that is absolutely necessary, so
unless the SSN will be used on the web, they should not be in the database.
