I just spoke with Microsoft-- they said I can setup a
machine with Windows Server 2000 loaded so I'll have IIS
and I can create a hyperlink for the users to link to my
server without posting my application to our company's
intranet. Then I take my forms and convert them into ASP
pages so its running through the browser just not through
the intranet. Do you think this will work as well as
posting it on our office intranet site.

P.S. Also the users may be well out of this office and
on a another domain will this cause issues doing it
microsoft's way?
 
Putting data on the web is not as easy as some would lead you to believe. There are many different technologies for putting data on
the web. Tony has some info and links at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/accesstovb.htm. In addition to what Tony lists, there is
also a product called Cold Fusion you might want to look into.

To get a look at some *really simple* things you can do with Active Server Pages, (ASP,) take a look at my web site. Most of the
pages are ASP. (Look at the page extension.) Some display data from a Jet database. The mailing list signup and class signup pages
store the data in a Jet database.

Good luck.
