[AccessD] Choosing web technology

Hi Mark,

You got a bad question at work.

What you pick depends on what your goals are.  If you are going to make
systems used only on a LANs, then Access is fine.  If you want to make
systems used on WANs, then Access/SQL Server or VB.Net/SQL Server is the
right path.  If you want to make systems that must be web-based, then learn
to develop web-based system.  By the way, I've listed these in the order of
increasing difficulty/time needed.

So the criteria is, "What kind of system(s) does your company actually need
to support the business strategy?"  There should be a broad-based and
comprehensive discussion on this subject before you get started, because
whichever way you go is a large investment in your time.

Hope this helps!
Dan

Hello All, 
 
I have been interested in the past in moving from Access to something 'web
based'...and have done a number of html and asp tutorials...but would have
to say I really don't know either.  It has been recently suggested (at work)
that I 'pick' something and learn it. Seems like a broad generic request to
me...but it is from a non technical person. 
 
So...I guess if I wanted to create interactive/dynamic web
applications...what criteria would I use to determine the appropriate
language/technology? Thanks, 
 
Mark
