[AccessD] SQL and Access

You can buy fully developed website templates very inexpensively.  Check out
my wesite www.therareshop.com for example. All I had to do was add my own
images, colors, etc. This site was built using a template from
http://www.ecommercetemplates.com. It comes with a mdb to hold the products
and a fully functional shopping cart. The nice thing is since it uses an mdb
I was able to access it directly using webdrive. This allowed me to populate
it using append queries,write reports,etc. HTH

Hi everyone - 

Can I pick your brains? I have a client who needs to put some data on the
web which will connect to a 3rd party shopping cart product, ie. they want
to display their goods on the web and allow them to be sold on to retail
clients. They already have the shopping cart side organised, but they have a
statically typed website - no database to feed it.

They also need an internal system which will meet administration, management
and reporting requirements - but fairly simple stuff. They are very strapped
for cash (smirk) and want a fairly inexpensive solution. Lately I have been
working on .net with SQL Server 2005 systems which would be a great solution
- but way too expensive in development costs.

So what about SQL Server BE with Access front end? I know it's very common
but can someone tell me:

- any gotchas
- cost for client in terms of licences they would need for SQL? I can't seem
to find a clear answer by googling.


Thanks.
