Kath - That is what I would like to do. Distance isn't a problem
(My clients are in the States and I am in NZ - it has worked for the last
5 years). Since I don't know of anyone specifically who could do
the job locally I figured that I might as well use someone from the list
(keep it in the family).<br><br>

- why not try to find someone locally who can help you with the web side
/ asp etc. and keep the management of the project yourself. You keep
control - cost in some learning time for yourself but find someone who
you are subcontracting the web stuff to. You obviously know their
business and their database and that knowledge is very valuable.

<dd>>Over the past 3 years we have developed a database in Access 97 that <br>
<dd>>basically accepts user input, runs some basic calculations and prints <br>
<dd>>reports. There are about 50 screens and 230 reports. The users are <br>
<dd>>independent financial planners (about 20 - could rise to about 100 in two <br>
<dd>>years) and are currently using their own stand alone machines spread <br>
<dd>>throughout the USA. They are the only ones that would normally access <br>
<dd>>their client records. Currently there are about 5,000 client records in <br>
<dd>>total but this could rise in the next two years to 50,000.<br>
<dd>><br>
<dd>>My client now wants to put it onto the web so that updates can be done <br>
<dd>>easier and in one place (rather than needing to be distributed each <br>
<dd>>time). Users can then access it through the Internet, add/change their <br>
<dd>>client data and run off their reports. This is not a big corporate so <br>
<dd>>budget is an issue.<br>
<dd>><br>
<dd>>The client also doesn't have an IT department so the maintenance of any <br>
<dd>>web server would be outsourced.<br>
<dd>><br>
<dd>>I only have experience in Access (97/XP) and SQL2000. I have not done <br>
<dd>>anything with web based databases.<br><br>
<dd>My client wants to pursue this further. We are looking at solutions, and <br>
<dd>the implementation of them. This would include the maintenance of the <br>
<dd>server, database, and website. Not sure if this discussion is best kept in <br>
<dd>the list or private (any moderators like to comment?).<br><br>
