[AccessD] Web based Project (Partner wanted)

David - 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. 

I know someone here in Melbourne who can help you but I think you would be better off with someone local?

  My client wants to pursue this further.  We are looking at solutions, and 
  the implementation of them.  This would include the maintenance of the 
  server, database, and website.  Not sure if this discussion is best kept in 
  the list or private (any moderators like to comment?).

  If anyone is interested please email me.
