I have a custom MS Access 200 database *.mdb with a custom front end *.mde.

I would like to have the front end accessed thru a IE web browser and have
the access database stored on the webserver. Of course I would want tight
security requiring users to log into the web page that contains the *.mde
interface.

Also, do I need to be a rocket scientist to accomplish this feat?

Thank you!
 
Hi Joe,

It doesn't literally take a rocket scientist but it's not for the average
Joe, if you'll pardon the expression. One possibility is to use Terminal
Services or Citrix, so as to have the front end open in an instance of
Access running on the server but displayed in a browser window on the user's
workstation. Another is to re-create the front end using ASP.
 
So how would something like this work. I would have a ASP front end but how
would this go about changing the back end that resides on my computer.I
understand the and would use the security of only allowing only certain users
access to the front end.
 
I've not yet needed to provide a browser-hosted front end and am not
familiar with ASP, so I can't help, except perhaps by saying that the
database must be on the web server - in other words probably not on your
computer.
 
Thanks for the reply,
Thats what I thought. I think I have a solution for my small
recreational/self education project and have posted the question else where
