Subject:Re: Database access over the web? From:"Walker, Arlen P" <Arlen -dot- P -dot- Walker -at- JCI -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 28 Apr 1998 15:17:46 -0500
Does anyone know what package I'd use to interface an Access database
with an HTML page over a LAN?
I'd use either Filemaker Pro or 4D; both are databases with built-in web
servers for serving up data directly over the web.
But, if for some reason you *have* to use something as primitive as Access,
I'd look into using an ODBC link to the server if you can, or a JDBC based
Java applet to pull the data from it.
Have fun,
