Microsoft Access with abyss web server

[noamkrief]

I'm taking an MS access class and i find the whole idea of databases very facinating to me.

I'm a pilot and I i keep a flight logbook on excel now.I was thinking of converting to an access database.

If i do, can i have it incorporated in my website with abyss webserver?I want to be able to get on a computer in the airport and go to my website and add logbook entries through the website...

Is this possible? Has anyone done this?
Thanks
Noam

you could do this a couple of ways but will need some programing such as ASP or PHP in order to connect to a database, write and read information to and from the database.

Your best bet is to check out some simple programing sites.

I prefer ASP so I'll give you some links that are useful to beginners:

http://asp101.com/
http://www.asptutorial.info/
http://www.learnasp.com/learn/

I'm sure others can point you to PHP resources....

Hi noamkrief.

mcwilliams is correct and since I prefer PHP, I found this small "how to" on
connecting to access database with PHP scripting without having to modify
the database to MySQL:

Hope that helps a little.

Also, here's something from my bookmarks that has alot of general tutorials
for ASP and PHP:

You get the bet noamkriff... DB issues due their succes to remote access whereever you are... It is even possible through PDA or your pocketphone...

(yes, yes, i'm working on Database accessing from mobile machines...)
