Microsoft Access Database to Web based form.


Question

I want to convert my in house Access Database to a web based application. Right now, it has three tables, a few queries, and two forms. It is basically an inventory program for computers. I thought about using MySQL, but figured I'd ask around first. Whatever I use would need to be free, and hopefully easy to use. I have a background in VB and C++, but I'm looking into SQL and Oracle. Thanks for any suggestions.

You need to be ALOT more specific! But I'm assuming your running everything off your computer since you want it free.

Probably the easiest is to setup inetpub on your server. Then download:

SQL Server Express (free): http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/default.aspx

Then to program the web application use Visual Web Developer (free): http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/

You can export your access database to SQL Server format with a couple buttons.
